The theater formerly known as Cinerama is back
After three and a half years, Seattle’s Cinerama is back: Under new ownership, and with a new name.
The SIFF Cinema Downtown's grand re-opening is tonight with a showing of Wonka. It's a sign that Seattle's film scene is thriving, despite the effects of the pandemic.
Chase Burns, editor of The Ticket, and Jas Keimig, independent arts reporter, explain why this cinema is so special and what its return means for film in the city.
