are increasingly an endangered species as well saw the film "Cinema Paradiso", so you just need to collect a minimum of information to confirm that the phenomenon is global. The Federal Capital
until about twenty years each neighborhood had its own cinema, including many boundaries to neighborhoods capital and Avellaneda, Lanús, Ramos Mejía and Lomas de Zamora continued this trend.
The 90 'was the death knell for them, not that decreased the devotion of the locals in the cinema, but market dynamics devoured them, facilitating the entry of multiplexes small rooms with tiny screens no less belonging to large multinational chains. Hand in hand they also came popcorn, neon, the soft carpets and foreign-type shopping habit of eating inside the enclosure, thus making the only choice for old cinemas are closing, but mutating spaces of evangelical worship centers, bingo or worse in parking lots. No doubt those with more than thirty years to keep their personal experiences of these spaces when they look at what became the old neighborhood cinema.
The Belgrano on Avenida Cervantes coming to Entre Rios is now occupied by a chain of grocery stores or Argos Federico Alvarez Lacroze and Thomas and it is a hard time, are examples.
One of the last strongholds, the Splendid Grand Avenue Santa Fe became the El Ateneo bookstore, and though he knew at least respect some architectural details like the side boxes is obviously not the same.
Persistence the old Gaumont, one that had the giant Cinerama screen novel became the Inca Space Km 0 , a government initiative for the dissemination of national cinema that has three rooms, including a coffee bar in the mezzanine. Front National Congress, Argentine films projected release and admission is a bargain price of $ 4 - (One dollar and 35 cents at current exchange rate). Pensioners, students and government employees pay only half.
Attend former Gaumont is a different option, located in a neighborhood that contrasts with the uniformity provided by the closure of shopping, so it is possible appreciate certain interesting features (for some). Perhaps
input value, the taste of Buenos Aires for the cinema or the failure to read the subtitles because they are Argentine films are causes that make public much of the former Gaumont are elderly. The film opens at 12:30 pm. am, but a few minutes before you can see older people waiting for the opening, as if to give something or waiting for the payment of retirement.
As in any big city that boasts the film can be an instrument of solitude. In the former Gaumont is possible to see how a lone spectator exits from a function to return to get the input for another film, and thus pass late in the film. A lack of popcorn, on the street is a place of sugared and never missing a "crazy" in the neighborhood who is talking to the usher before the show. Any of the three rooms are rarely full, except when projecting a Argentine film actor of some renown, or rather, popular, according to some residents of the film.
A curious fact is the poor dissemination, or worse, this is adequate, but perhaps the problem for these cinemas neighborhood is that the custom and practice quickly rooting for rooms in multinational chain inserts shopping environment with all its paraphernalia of consumption. For example, a film of a popular and child as 100% Fight "in full holiday season hits record of the public, in the former Gaumont viewers by function did not reach forty. And the same goes for the cinema, so the Inca Space function is to promote industry Km 0 subsidizing the main nutrient vernacular: the viewer.
the end, whatever the film projection system that is imposed on the commercial market, will remain without doubt one of the most practiced rituals of the twentieth century ... a screen, dim light at first, then total darkness, the powerful sound emanating from the projected image and full attention of the viewer with a of the largest and most ingenious entertainment that mankind invented and that is about to begin.
