As the entertainment industry hopes to thrive safely after the pandemic, we are back together again, leaving the shackles of staying at home for most of 2020, enjoying a common love experience in front of the big screen, victory, suspense, history And everything the movie has to offer. Cinemas, especially those in New York and Los Angeles, have been closed for a year, but as they reopened, the global box office has rebounded. This proves the Teflon nature of movies, a media that refuses to be submerged like a pandemic.
For today’s show, we have moved from the DGA Theater on West 57th Street in Manhattan to the Moving Image Museum in Astoria, Queens. The museum is built on the sacred cinema site: Kaufman Astoria Studio Campus , It was originally part of Famous Players-a 1920 production location on the east coast of Laski. After 1927, the studio became Paramount. This is home to hundreds of silent and early sound film productions, including the first Sherlock Holmes sound film, The Return of Sherlock Holmes (1929), the Marx brothers’ films "Coconut" (1929) and "Animal Biscuit" (1930), And later classic works such as "The Good Guy", "Road to Carlito", "The Witcher" and "Hair".
Therefore, settle down in the audience or in front of the screen, and use #DeadlineContenders on the website and social media all day to stick to the deadline for full coverage. A streaming site with all 23 panels will be launched by the deadline on Monday.
