It shows us that not only are people ready to return to the movies-to watch and discover new films the way they were meant to be seen-but also that this non-profit art house is a vital cultural touchstone for the community. “We are blown away by the community’s incredible support and enthusiasm for reopening the AFS Cinema, and beyond grateful for the generous donations and words of encouragement. The response from the community so far has been overwhelming with $130K contributed by over 700 donors in just over a month.
