“We alternate names every seven days with mix of genresbetween auteur cinema and blockbusters, which has always been our philosophy, – explains the manager of Sanfelicinema, – over time, we have lightened the topics a bit, because the audience has changed and especially after the pandemic, there was a desire for lightness, but without sacrificing quality. The type of offering varies a lot, and now we also need to be very careful to avoid duplication with those who are moving directly from cinema to streaming platforms, as was clear a few months ago with Air, which immediately moved to Amazon…” .
The value of the program is also accompanied by a good level structure, with equipment far superior to the classic “parochial cinema” … “During the forced shutdown due to the pandemic, we installed a Dolby 7.1 audio system and “removed” the old projector on a digital one,” Calabrese lists. The room is equipped with 196 well-spaced comfortable red chairs and a large screen. Something new this year is sort of a throwback given that the screenings will be held, as in the weekend, on Friday evening, which will replace Thursday as it was before Covid. “The cinema used to run Thursday through Sunday, but now resources are more limited,” the manager explains, “we tested on Thursdays, but the results were not satisfactory, so we returned to the pre-pandemic Friday, always keeping 4 weekly cinema tickets“.
To guarantee the opening, as always for fifty years, volunteers who organize and manage the ticket office and the hall With Valuable contribution of Don Norberto Brigatti, citizen provost and “owner” of the cinema as parish priest of San Felice, passionate film buff and involved in the choice of titles. “We are all volunteers,” emphasizes Calabrese, “the doors of Sanfelicinema are open, it takes a few evenings a month and a little familiarity with the computer, with the opportunity to have a good experience and visit the shows together.”
