1h 22m
Directed by Abel Ferrara • 2019 • United States, Greece
Abel Ferrara traces the life and work of friend and fellow cinephile Nicolas “Nick” Nicolaou, a Cypriot immigrant who, as a teenager, began working in small neighborhood movie theaters around Manhattan, defying gentrification, changing viewing habits, and the rise of multiplexes to emerge as one of New York City’s last independent theater owners. Moving from 1970s Times Square adult film houses through decades of city regulation, chain takeovers, and cultural shifts, THE PROJECTIONIST charts a deeply personal journey through the history of film exhibition and New York.
