As the way we experience movies evolves, the Archive takes an
international look at how the movies have depicted moviegoing over these
years of change. The selected films carry us from the anarchic,
freewheeling exhibition of the early silent era, through the exalting
opulence of movie palaces to the post-war rise of exploitation shockers
and into the romantic nostalgia for pre-television days gone by.
Whether a moviegoer in France, Italy, Argentina or Taiwan, the current
sense of loss at the passing of an exhibition era takes its place in the
ongoing history of cultural and industrial transformation reflected in
these films.
