Two slackers working the final shift cross paths with outcasts and oddballs in interwoven stories of rejection, redemption, and fate. Hunter, a jaded employee who spent the last decade behind the concession stand, must finally face his uncertain future. Movie theatre employees and patrons include the former stuntman trying to charm his way into a free ticket, the ornery theatre owner keeping the slackers in line for one more day, the hungry news reporter, and the Australian cowboy and boomerang-slinging movie star. As day turns to night, the small-town community must reckon with its local theatre finally closing its doors.

Handbook of Movie Theaters' History

Mar 11, 2021

Handbook of Movie Theaters' History is a documentary about the history, the development in the present days and the future of movie theaters in the city of Turin, Italy. It mixes the documentary language with comedy and fiction, and is enriched by interviews to some of the most important voices of Turin cinematography. The film follows the evolution of movie theaters by enlightening its main milestones: the pre-cinema experiences in the late 19th Century, the colossals and the movie cathedrals of the silent era, the arthouse theaters, the National Museum of Cinema, the Torino Film Festival, the movie theaters system today and the main hypothesis about its future. The mission of Handbook of Movie Theaters' History is to explore and give back to the audience a deep reflection about the identity and the value of movie theater, in its social and anthropological role and as a mass media, and to analyze the experience of the viewer.
