Art House too Microcinema 

The ever evolving world of movie theaters

Cinema, much as other aspects of culture in our global society come and go in waves we typically call fads. Art house cinema's may be on the decline due to over saturation of films, and a change in how we as an audience view cinema. Microcinemas was films way back into the limelight of rural America. Too many of us go to the movies purely for what is on the screen, but not the atmosphere of the theater or the aesthetic of the crowd. The annual Rocky Horror Picture Show typically played during the Halloween season is a perfect example of what it means to view a film in an art house. Fans come dressed as the characters, patrons discuss their favorite scenes, and of course tucked under their arms are all the props viewers could use to interact with the film. Truly this attitude toward a single film is what art house cinema tried to embody.
