Aperture Cinema will start an annual film series called Luminaries on April 1 as it honors âlegends in the making.â The series will be a combination of virtual and in-person screenings.
Aperture has remained closed since mid-March 2020 because of the pandemic, offering a virtual cinema and private rentals for small groups. But on May 14, Aperture plans to reopen.
âLuminaries celebrates a filmmaker or industry professional who breaks down walls, challenges stereotypes and leads with originality,â Aperture stated in a press release.
The series will feature film screenings, Q&Aâs and panels spread throughout the year which will showcase significant works of each honoree. Each Luminaries year will be capped off with a visit and community conversation with the honoree.
