点评:I attended the Noir City 22 Film Festival on Jan. 31, Feb. 1 and Feb 2, 2025. The theater is a grand movie palace from 1925. They have the ability to present 35mm films, quite a rarity nowadays. The screen and proscenium curtains are gorgeous.
My main reason for rating two stars is the intensely cold main theater. It seats 635. Everyone I talked to mentioned how cold it was. I wore two to three layers of sweaters, mittens, wrapped my legs in a shawl, and wore double pairs of pants on the third day, and couldn't get warm. I could feel cold air blowing on me no matter where I sat during those days. Funny that during the intermissions, it was warm, and then freezing as soon as the movies started. I mentioned it to a manager who simply declined to help. I coughed through each movie, and today, am home from work, finally sick from prolonged exposure to the cold.
Another inadequacy are the availability of downstairs disabilty restrooms. There are two separate, private restrooms, one under each side of the grand staircase, and easily have lines of a dozen people or more at each one. There are more stalls upstairs but the staircase is huge, and difficult for those of us with mobility issues.
翻译:我参加了 2025 年 1 月 31 日、2 月 1 日和 2 月 2 日举行的 Noir City 22 电影节。该剧院是一座建于 1925 年的宏伟电影宫。他们有能力放映 35 毫米电影,这在当今相当罕见。屏幕和舞台幕布非常华丽。
我给两颗星的主要原因是主剧院非常冷。它有 635 个座位。和我交谈的每个人都提到天气有多冷。第三天,我穿了两到三层毛衣、手套,用披肩裹住腿,穿了两条裤子,却暖和不起来。那几天,无论我坐在哪里,我都能感觉到冷风吹在我身上。有趣的是,在中场休息时,天气很暖和,电影一开始就很冷。我向一位经理提到了这一点,但他拒绝提供帮助。我看每部电影时都在咳嗽,今天下班回家,终于因为长时间暴露在寒冷中而生病了。
另一个不足之处是楼下没有残疾人专用卫生间。楼下有两个独立的私人卫生间,分别位于大楼梯的两侧,每个卫生间都有十几个人甚至更多人排队。楼上有更多的隔间,但楼梯很大,对于我们这些行动不便的人来说很困难。
