Also checked, with no confirmed film screenings

Smithsonian IMAX (Udvar-Hazy Airbus, Air & Space Lockheed Martin): Excluded at your request.
Alamo Drafthouse – DC Bryant St, Crystal City, Loudoun, Woodbridge: All 4K digital laser. The Nov 8 The Beyond tour stop is a 4K restoration.
Angelika Pop-Up Union Market: Classics series (Marilyn, B&W) doesn’t list a format, so it’s presumed digital.
AMC Hoffman Center 22, AMC Potomac Mills, AMC Georgetown, Regal Majestic: Their summer 70mm Odyssey runs are over. Current listings are standard or laser digital.
Suns Cinema, Miracle Theatre, Avalon Theatre, Cinema Arts Theatre (Fairfax), Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse: No film-print screenings announced.
AFI Silver Silent Cinema Showcase titles not tagged “in 35mm” (e.g., Hula, Beau Geste, Queen Kelly, Faust, Nosferatu): Presumed digital, since AFI tags its film prints in the title.
National Gallery – Wajda at 100 (Nov 14–28), Eyes on the Prize (Oct 24), TCB (Oct 25): All DCP or no film format given. Excluded.
Freer / National Museum of Asian Art: Prince Achmed, Train to Busan, Pakeezah, First Light, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence: All DCP. Excluded.
Library of Congress Packard Campus: The Phantom of the Opera (Oct 22): Marked “(Digital)”. Excluded.
LoC Mary Pickford Theater (Capitol Hill): No upcoming screenings posted.
The Charles Theatre (Baltimore) revival series: Usually DCP, occasionally 35mm. None of the listed titles (Vertigo Nov 14/16, Out of the Past Nov 21–26, Lolita Nov 28/30, King of Marvin Gardens Dec 5/7, etc.) say which format.
SNF Parkway Theatre and Senator Theatre (Baltimore): Both have 35mm capability, but no current listing mentions film. The Parkway calendar is JavaScript-only and couldn’t be fully checked.
Rhizome DC microcinema (Takoma): The Nov 5 show (Daniel Bachman, The Witness Tree) doesn’t give a format. An aggregator row for “Nov 6, 2026” 16mm shorts links to a 2025 event, so it looks like a dating error. Excluded.
Goethe-Institut, Hirshhorn, GWU, Georgetown, UMD Hoff Theater: No film-format screenings found.

Sources & caveats

Every format and showtime comes from the venue’s own listings: AFI Silver’s ticketing feed (vista.afi.com), NGA calendar pages, the Library of Congress events pages and Now See Hear! blog, the Smithsonian NMAA/Eventive pages, and Angelika Mosaic’s showtimes page. Regal Gallery Place 70mm times come from Regal’s ticketing feed as shown on Showtimes.com. Analog Film DC and Da MoVies were used to cross-check.
Library of Congress “(Film)”: LoC says the screening is a film print but doesn’t give the gauge. It’s almost always 35mm at Mount Pony, but that isn’t stated, so these get their own badge.
Dune: Part Three: AFI lists 70mm with an Insider Screening Dec 15 and an Advance Screening Dec 17, opening Dec 18. Times aren’t posted yet. In70mm.com shows no IMAX 15/70 engagement in the DC/Baltimore area.
Theaters sometimes swap a print for a DCP at the last minute when a print is damaged or delayed. Check the venue page before a long drive, especially to Culpeper.
Venues post their schedules in waves. As of Oct 20: AFI through about Dec 3 (plus Dune), Angelika Mosaic through Nov 5, the Library of Congress through Oct 31, the National Gallery through Nov 28, the Freer through Dec 9.
