At the beginning of this month, a new underground cinema was unearthed at Taylor Books, near South Charleston.
The West Virginia International Film Festival has launched the area's first independent cinema, housed in the basement of the book store. The plan is screen international films, documentaries, art house movies, and other films that normally would not make it to the big screen at a commercial movie theater.
The film festival went with a serious pick for its first film, which will screen on Friday and Saturday nights throughout the month of February. It's showing ‘Fire at Sea’, a documentary about refugees traveling from the Middle East and Africa to Lampedusa, an island about 127 miles from Sicily, near the coast of Tunisia. The film provides a look at how the migration is affecting not only the refugees, but also the inhabitants of the island, who are doing what they can to provide aid to the refugees.
Film festivals can use poster printing to spread the word of any new cinema programs they launch, as well as Mailing to their current subscribers and patrons.
The new cinema space at the bookstore is able to accommodate at audience of up to 30 people. The organizers of the underground cinema chose the bookstore because it was the most budget-friendly option.
Films will screen at 7:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Tickets are $9 for adults and $5 for students.
