Originally there was no room in the White House specifically for screening films, so the present venue was converted from a cloakroom in 1942. It is able to seat 42 people.[1] HistoryThe White House Family Theater is located in the East Wing of the White House. The first film screened in the White House was Birth of a Nation in 1915; however, early film viewings occurred in the main building as the facility lacked a dedicated theater. Originally a cloakroom known as the "Hat Box", the White House Family Theater was converted into its current use in 1942 on the orders of Franklin Roosevelt.[2][3] Traditionally, American studios have made their films available to the White House on request, either directly or through the Motion Picture Association of America. Landing a screening in the White House Family Theater is considered a valuable marketing tool by studios and, during the 1980s, the motion picture industry financed renovation of the facility, which added terraced seating and other amenities. During the presidency of George W. Bush the facility was redecorated in "movie palace red".[3] In addition to its use screening films, the theater has also been used by presidents to rehearse speeches.[4] Films viewedAs of 1988, Jimmy Carter had viewed more films in the White House Family Theater than any other person, having watched 480 films in the facility during his four-year term beginning with All The President's Men.[6][5][3] According to a list of film screenings obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request filed by Gizmodo, the first film watched by Bill Clinton in the White House Family Theater was Lorenzo's Oil on January 27, 1993. The final film watched was Chocolat on January 6, 2001.[6] The first film screened during the presidency of Donald Trump was Finding Dory.[7] References1. ^{{cite news|title=Obama's gadgets: What tech does the president use?|url=http://www.zdnet.com/pictures/presidential-gadgets-what-technology-does-obama-use/7/|accessdate=February 10, 2017|work=ZDNet|date=February 16, 2016}} {{White House}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Securing the White House|url=https://www.whitehousehistory.org/securing-the-white-house|website=White House Historical Association|publisher=White House Historical Association|accessdate=February 10, 2017}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite news|last1=Johnson|first1=Ted|title=Now playing at the White House|url=https://variety.com/2011/film/news/now-playing-at-the-white-house-1118040250/|accessdate=February 10, 2017|work=Variety|date=July 23, 2011}} 4. ^{{cite book|last1=Patterson|first1=Bradley|title=The White House Staff: Inside the West Wing and Beyond|date=2004|publisher=Brookings Institution Press|isbn=0815798229|page=168}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Mancini|first1=Mark|title=7 Fun Facts About the White House Movie Theater|url=http://mentalfloss.com/article/53106/7-fun-facts-about-white-house-movie-theater|accessdate=February 10, 2017|work=Mental Floss|date=October 10, 2013}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Novak|first1=Matt|title=Here Is Every Single Movie Bill Clinton Watched In The White House|url=http://paleofuture.gizmodo.com/here-is-every-single-movie-bill-clinton-watched-in-the-1755319341|date=January 29, 2016|publisher=Gizmodo}} 7. ^{{cite news|last1=Harmon|first1=Steph|title=Finding Dory, a movie about travellers, is Trump's first White House screening|url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/30/amid-travel-ban-protests-finding-dory-is-trumps-first-white-house-movie-screening|accessdate=February 10, 2017|work=The Guardian|date=January 29, 2017}} 2 : White House|Cinemas and movie theaters |
