These microcinemas are not just venues to watch films; they are nourishment for the brain and essence. The conversations about the film are just as important as the experience of watching it as well as the actual film itself.
I found myself chuckling out loud about the irate audience member, who demanded a discussion following a screening. That particular portion of the reading reminded me of Kreul's Modern class. I remember some films where the class would just burst into yelling and debate after a screening--ask Laura Murphy if she's sympathetic to the Palestinians sometime :-p.
