@kcur893 Movies are so back — at least in Kansas City. The independent Screenland Armour Theater in North Kansas City recently installed new projectors that allow it to show recent releases like "Sinners" and classics like "Vertigo" on 70mm and 35mm film. Screenland is now the only theater in the region to specialize in that format, which is great news for film fans after several other theaters have shut down. Owner Adam Roberts hopes the investment will give younger film fans the opportunity to see movies the way they were intended: with Michael B. Jordan as true to life as possible. KCUR’s Celisa Calacal spoke with the Screenland crew and took a look behind the scenes at what this film revival means. 🎙️Hosted by Celisa Calacal 📹Produced and filmed by Zach Perez 🖥️Edited by Gabe Rosenberg #kansascity #film #movies ♬ original sound - KCUR - Kansas City
