Thankfully, since then the auditorium has been completely refinished: new seats, new screen, new projector, new sound system!

Hard To Be A God might have slipped past my radar if it wasn't for @CultivateCinema . They showed it in the old uncomfortable Library auditorium, and pumped its post synch sound through the radio/intercom system for 3 hours like God intended.

Among their many coups - got the Buffalo Public Library to show Hard to Be a God and brought a Petzold retro to @squeakybuffalo. I went to a memorable screening of Pather Panchali they organized at the @NorthParkTheatr introduced by the one and only @girishshambu

Thank you to @Rectangular_Eye & @jaredmobarak for 8 years of programming excellence. From Satyajit Ray to YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT & DAYS OF HEAVEN, you are responsible for some of our proudest moments; & Buffalo owes you a great debt for pushing & inspiring our film culture. ❤️

It's a sad day. But also an opportunity to look back and celebrate the last eight years of working alongside @Rectangular_Eye to help bring their vision of what #Buffalo cinema should be to life. RIP CCC.
