"Where did we fall in love with movies? At the movie theater. Watching a film in a theater with an audience is an experience. We can laugh together, cry together, scream in fright together, perhaps sit in devastated silence together... It's a communal experience you simply don't get at home."
-- Academy Award-winning ANORA director Sean Baker
