Cinemas Quotations

The biggest challenge was trying to convey the story of the making of a film that isn't finished yet - and which won't be finished until the third film, The Return of the King, reaches our cinemas towards the end of 2003!

I'm of course disillusioned with what has happened to World cinema. Now cinemas in both Eastern and Western Europe are filled with the same blockbusters from Hollywood.

If you want to do what you want to do, you cannot work. So art is going to be finished, and this is the will of the Islamic republic: to not have any artists or art and close the doors of all the cinemas and music and everything.

we are pleased to announce that we have an agreement to sell the Fifth Avenue Cinemas to Festival Cinemas. This is the second theatre sale we have announced since completing the acquisition of Famous Players on July 22, 2005.

We take a variety of points into consideration when convening as a group to pick films to attempt to get for screening purposes. One thing we think about before much else is whether or not a local theater, be it Keene Cinemas or The Colonial, will be screening a film and if so, when. The Putnam is technically a second-run theater.

Hundreds of these irreplaceable cinemas have been demolished, and more close every year.

Tribeca Film Festival Doha will promote Middle Eastern themes and filmmakers, but not exclusively. Approximately 40 films will be presented at the new Museum of Islamic Art and in cinemas across Doha. Innovative work by established filmmakers will be shown alongside the debuts of newly discovered directing talents.

With Regal Cinemas we were one of the first couple of churches in America to start a church in a Regal cinema. Now they promote to churches. The management at the theaters has been unbelievable. We could not be where we are without them.

Sadly, cinemas with film as the primary source are disappearing. We need to remain open to change. That does not require one to divorce the past but to respect and process both the present and the future.

A lot needs to be done. We need to get non-Indians to see our films. We need to screen them in the best cinemas worldwide.

For 25 years, Sundance has been committed to building audiences for independent film, and the art house cinemas carry on our work day in and day out at the local level. In so many ways, these theaters are some of the unsung heroes of independent film, and we're excited to be collaborating with each of these 14 curators to bring new work and classics in independent film to their local audiences.

In the U.S., it would be so much better if the studios made many more smaller films for niche markets rather than a few tent pole films that swamp cinemas and Hoover up all the funding.

The first Bond movie I saw at cinemas was 'For Your Eyes Only' when I was almost 10. I got into the Fleming books after watching 'A View To A Kill' a few years later.
