This is a Response to "From Arthouse to Microcinema"

Reading this article has given me a desire to go back in time to experience these art house and microcinema experiences! I feel like people, especially some film students, tend to forget that smaller films as well as those created by an individual need to be showcased somehow, for they would never be considered in the bigger multiplexes of today. I won't lie, it had never occurred to me before taking this course that one could organize a screening like these on your own, and that one can play a film basically anywhere and have it be called microcinema. I hate that most cinema-goers are unaware of the opportunity to see great works that the microcinema offers, but I suppose the whole point is that not everyone has the chance to see them, which makes it that much more special to the viewer. I know that whenever I get the chance to see a smaller, less-known film, either in class or at film festivals, I get a sense of not just joy in their work, but pride that I got the opportunity to see it at all and have it as a part of me.
