While watching films privately can be an enriching experience, collective viewing helps us understand new and varied perspectives. The fellow feeling in reacting to a text as one group, while dissecting it individually, has its own thrill. And how many times do we watch a work of fiction, documentary or documentary short and want to discuss the symbolic subtext with the makers? Or, just wish to pass on a word of appreciation? Cinema House, a community viewing opportunity put together by G5A Warehouse and BNP Paribas, marries both. As part of this offering, audiences get a chance to meet and discuss films — of different kinds — with cast and crew members, and directors, too.
