Dean’s Digital Café - Shifting the Screen: Independent Cinema in Quarantine

May 5, 2020
12:30 PM – 1:30 PM

In this time of quarantine, video streaming services have seen a boom in activity. As a result, physical theaters have taken a major hit, with moviegoers forced to practice social distancing. Major theater chains have all but shuttered, but what has been the effect of social distancing on smaller art house theaters? The Cinema Arts Centre, a small independent theater in Huntington, NY has pivoted online, maintaining online screeners and watch parties for their programming. Join Andre Doughty, adjunct professor of communication arts, for a roundtable conversation with Director Dylan Skolnick, Associate Director Cat Kim, and Cinema Arts Centre staff members as they navigate the pivot.

This event will be hosted via Zoom!
