Art House Convergence 2017: Full Schedule

10:15am MST

The Pop-Up Art House

Hear from theaters who have expanded beyond their four walls for cinema experiences in their communities. Whether it's to engage a new audience, collaborate with a local organization, or expand their film education, these theaters will discuss why and how they use these "pop-up" cinemas in addition to their regular screens.

Good Intentions and Unintended Consequences of Emergency Procedures

Feedback Survey

Having emergency procedures have always been necessary for cinema and festival spaces, but recent events have expanded the types of emergencies these organizations should be considering. Building relationships with local police and fire departments is just one key element to a theater's emergency plan. How does an emergency plan affect an audience, volunteers, and staff? This panel will combine a discussion on the unintended consequences of emergency procedures, and a close look at a theater's emergency plan.
