The theater will double its number of screening rooms.
On Wednesday the Bryn Mawr Film Institute broke ground on the final phase of its creation, a plan to add two new screening rooms, renovate the current screening rooms and renovate and add new restrooms. A $5.5 million campaign will pay for all of that, plus pay off some of the organization's debt.

This phase has always been part of the institute's plan. It is the final phase in the theater's 8-year-old life. In order to make it work, the institute did a land swap with Main Line Health Realty.

The class explores 'Big Screen vs. Small Screen.'
When television came along in the late 1940s, Hollywood reacted the way the villagers reacted to the Frankenstein Monster, and for much the same reasons: They said it was unnatural, dangerous, ugly, and its very existence posed a threat to the traditional order. The film industry’s early response to the upstart medium was a comical mix of bluster and denial. The movie studios would not produce TV shows, rent their facilities for TV production, allow their stars to appear in TV dramas, or (and you have to love this one) even show a TV set onscreen in a movie—unless it was used in the story, often in a way that mocked television. Class: 4 Wednesdays, February 27 to March 20, 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm Instructor: Ian Abrams, College of Media Arts…

I would suggest you see this film, but I would also suggest you see Triple Divide and all other films. I think it is important that you read all of the original documentation that you can to be properly informed. Never rely on the headlines of an article or what someone tells you.
