Your reaction to these articles may well be the same as mine was -\u2014 to pull up a film from your ‘to watch” list (be it from New Plaza or another source) and immerse yourself, perhaps with family or a partner, as a reminder how inspired cinema, regardless of those “market forces,” can re-invigorate\u00a0our daily lives.<\/p>\n

Many of the films discussed will be heading to U.S. festivals and cinemas in the next six to nine months, and New Plaza hopes to be in the business of presenting some of them to you.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/newplazacinema.org\/test_area\/staff_materials\/tickets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/The-Movies-Are-Back-But-What-Are-Movies-Now-The-New-York-Times-1-250x300-1.png\")
Tony Scott<\/strong><\/a> of the NY Times takes a deep dive into the ever-evolving “tug of war” for our attention between reopening cinemas and the ubiquitous streaming services, and speculates that the way we choose and consume movies post-pandemic may be subtly altering in ways we’re only beginning to comprehend.<\/p>\n
