do you know kim's video? among the recent documentaries shown here was kim's video, a film that explores a legendary now—closed new york video store. the co—editor of the documentary came to the dctv screening. to him, a big plus of microcinemas is they provide a space for film—makers like himself to interact directly with audiences. it's like a learning experience for both sides. i feel like it's rather unique to small cinemas in a way you would never get at a multiplex. so, i don't need to have an enormous audience, i'm not even that excited about a million people streaming at home as much as i am having a small dialogue with an audience who cares about movies. in the financially fragile world of independent film—making, micro—cinemas are being seen as a lifeline and a particular help to documentary film—makers. we are a part of the documentary ecosystem in the world. and when we opened, which was right after the pandemic, it was also just a really challenging time, that most documentary films were not being bought and we're one of the few cinemas in new york that can screen films that don't have distributors.
