Well, isn't this just delightful: do you know what they call pirate screenings of Hollywood blockbusters in Russian cinemas? "Pre-show service"! So, officially, almost all of Hollywood has supposedly left Russia, but unofficially (meaning, through good old piracy), all the latest releases are being shown in cinemas in their full glory, right before screenings of Russian films. Now, to be fair, not all cinemas are in on this little charade. Perhaps that's why, out of the 4.6 billion rubles (roughly 50 million dollars) that the industry raked in during June and July 2024, about a third of it comes from these pirate releases. The top performers - "Inside Out 2," "Despicable Me 4," and "Furiosa: Mad Max Chronicles." So, as I may have mentioned before, sanctions only work when everyone plays along. When one side imposes them and the other couldn’t care less, you end up with this sort of mess. I have just one question: how many people actually stay in their seats after the end of, say, "Furiosa" to watch what the Russian film industry has to offer?

🎥The Evolution of Cinema Operations in Iceland 🎥 The European Audiovisual Observatory highlights that the number of cinema screens has remained relatively stable despite the COVID-19 pandemic. That's great. However, Iceland's cinema landscape tells a different story, reflecting broader global trends and local challenges. 📽️Iceland’s Cinema Landscape 📽️ Icelandic cinema has seen a significant decline in operational cinemas over the past decades. As of 2024, there are only 9 cinemas operating across the country (of 400.000 inhabitants). These include: 🏙 Reykjavik: Sambíóin Egilshöll, Sambíóin Álfabakki, Sambíóin Kringlan, and Bíó Paradís (arthouse cinema). 🌲 Outside Reykjavik: Sambíóin Akureyri, Sambíóin Keflavík, Bíóhúsið Selfossi, Bíóhöllin Akranesi, and Herðubíó in Seyðisfjörður. 🎬Decline in Rural Cinemas🎬 Historically, Iceland had numerous cinemas providing cultural and social hubs for communities. However, digital streaming, changing entertainment preferences, and economic challenges have hit hard. A 2023 article in Morgunblaðið noted, "The rise of streaming services has caused a substantial decline in cinema attendance, forcing many small-town cinemas to shut down." This trend is seen globally, with a 30% drop in European cinema attendance from 2010 to 2020. 🎟️Importance of Cinemas🎟️ Despite these challenges, cinemas continue to play a vital role. The British Film Institute (BFI) emphasizes that "cinemas are not just places to watch films; they are community hubs fostering social interaction and cultural engagement." This is especially true in Iceland, where rural cinemas are essential cultural venues. 🚌Innovative Solutions🚌 To combat the decline, some Icelandic cinemas have embraced innovation. The UngRIFF cinema bus project brings cinematic experiences to underserved areas, allowing children and communities in remote locations to enjoy films. 💰 Economic Impact 💰 Globally, cinemas contribute to local economies by creating jobs, supporting businesses, and fostering tourism. Research by USC Annenberg underscores these contributions. This impact is crucial for Iceland, where tourism is a significant economic driver. 🎉Bottom line 🎉 While Iceland's cinema industry faces challenges, its societal role remains crucial. By embracing innovation and emphasizing the cultural, social, and educational value of cinemas, we can revitalize the industry. Supporting the unique contributions of cinemas ensures they continue to thrive in the digital age. Do you ever worry about the lack of diversity in your cinematic community?

Did you know that Mexican Cinema experienced a significant growth in the late 30s to the mid60s? This time is known as Cine De Oro; the golden era of Mexican Cinema. The film industry took center stage on the global scale. A lot of factors attributed to this growth; one notably was the ongoing conflict of World War 2 in the world. While countries who made up both the Allied and Axis Powers concentrated their efforts towards the war; Mexico saw a huge void in the film industry. While other film industries were halting production or creating war/military movies to support its war efforts. Mexico experienced growth and popularity on a global scale for their artistic projects in various genres (like drama and comedy).
