Scenes are standalone recordings that capture reality or trace a process in real time.
They are precisely unedited and raw. There are meant to be recycled and repositioned into a different context in which they can be framed as cinematic experiences.
United Artists, Sheepshead Bay
Not every facade for a theater is grand and opulent - especially that of the somewhat mundane Regal United Artists in Sheepshead Bay, where I spent most of my early moviegoing experience with no less magic.

My proposal for the Cine-marquise I is the theater I spent my childhood going to - the Regal United Artists in Sheepshead Bay. However, what draws me to this theater more than nostalgia, is its unassuming nature and adjacency to the Belt Parkway. It is a rare, outdoor liminal space in the hustle of New York City, with little to no glory in its facade and yet just as crucial a formative space for many. One could walk right or drive right by it without being the wiser.
