In the early 20th century, following the development of the entertainment industry, hundreds of theatres were built across North America. Major entertainment firms and movie studios commissioned Specialized architects to build grandiose and extravagant auditoriums. From the 60’s, TV, multiplexes and urban crisis made them obsolete. During the Following decades, many of these theatres closed or were simply demolished. Some that remain have been converted to serve varied purposes. Many are reused as churches, retail space, flea markets, bingo halls, discos, supermarkets or warehouses. Others just sit abandoned.

“In America my name is always preceded with ‘Oscar-winning actress’. I suppose it made a difference [in my life], but for me an Oscar is a consequence, not an aim. My aim is more hidden, more profound. As a child I would dream about uniting people across the world. If you could do that through film, can you imagine how wonderful that would be?”

"Not queer like gay. Queer like, escaping definition. Queer like some sort of fluidity and limitlessness at once. Queer like a freedom too strange to be conquered. Queer like the fearlessness to imagine what love can look like… and pursue it."
