- MEMORIES OF A FILM26’
This documentary project aims to study movie theatres and the movie experience. Cities have been losing their temples of cinema. The act of going to the cinema is losing social importance. People do not go to the dark room in search of the dream. The film used to be experienced and felt together. Today, we are alone. Like these places that are isolated, without public, without projectionists, without films, without cinema. The habit of going to the cinema has been lost. We do not dream. The memories of these places and the ones who went there and lived there, with emotion and the cinema, are gone. But some memories remain, the memories of a film. A temple. A ritual. Multiple experiences.
