Right now we’re all glued to the best movies we can stream from home—but as much as we love the comfort of our couches, we’re already yearning for the dark and popcorn-dotted majesty of seeing film on the big screen.
Fortunately while L.A.’s movie houses are shut down to ensure social distancing, some of the industry’s professionals are scratching that film-lover itch with glimpses into our favorite movie theaters. In the case of American Cinematheque, the nonprofit is taking us behind the scenes and into a sacred room we can’t even visit when life is running normally: the projection booth.
