The Last Temptation of Cinema

Part of Doors Open London

Before the multiplexes, single-screen cinemas reigned supreme in London, Ontario. An accidental live play takes place when a documentary about the Hyland Cinema and London’s other legendary movie houses isn’t finished rendering in time for the screening. Two socially anxious filmmakers endeavour to recreate their documentary and define the golden age of movie-going.
