In the digital age, film and TV have become something that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home. Movie theaters have found it difficult to compete with this option. Watching at home gives audiences more leeway and is significantly cheaper than a night at the theater.But part of the art of filmmaking is showcasing on the big screen. It's about captivating an audience in real time. The energy of a film is transferred from the work to its audiences and shared collectively through its environment. Theaters offer a great opportunity by providing a dark and quiet space that gives the audience the ideal environment to focus on nothing but the screen.The issue then comes around when the showing is over. The credits start rolling and audiences start walking out to their cars. There is no space for audiences to convene after experiencing the film. There is no space within the theater that creates the feeling of being in the film, outside of watching. There are no opportunities to showcase just how much work filmmakers put into creating their films.Typically, this where festivals step in. Festivals give filmmakers the opportunities to discuss what they have made, how they've done it, and express interest into what others in the industry have made. Festivals, however, are catered to people who work in the industry. Of course, most festivals are open to the public and audiences do come enjoy the work of filmmakers, however, the material is catered to those who would like to walk away having learned something. Film isn't only for the filmmaker, it's meant to be enjoyed, shared, and should be something communities can connect over. This is where Cinema Social steps in, just between a theater and festival. Cinema Social isn't about bringing traditional movie theaters back but, experimenting with how we can bring artistic scenes together. Film and music are two of the most captivating forms of entertainment. Using the two, Cinema Social will create an atmosphere for both filmmakers and audiences to enjoy, while providing a space for ideas to float freely and give artists the opportunity to collaborate.
