The film will play on big screens at Laemmle’s theaters in Encino and Santa Monica beginning Friday.

Despite a lack of commitment from U.S. distributors, various theaters across the country are screening “No Other Land,” including the Laemmle Theatres’ Santa Monica and Glendale locations and the Lumiere Theater in Beverly Hills.

Robert Laemmle, who took over running the Laemmle Theatres chain from his father, died on Thursday at age 89.

Laemmle’s death was confirmed by his son Greg, the third generation of Laemmles to run the local string of movie houses.

Robert Laemmle, known as Bob, died at the Berkley East Healthcare Center in Santa Monica, where he was receiving care after a fall at his home in Santa Monica on Dec. 23.
