CINEOS Premiere
Alone vs. Together
Whether a film leaves you feeling isolated — or held; alone in the dark, or a little less alone than you were.
Cinema is one of the few places you can feel profoundly alone and deeply accompanied at the same time. Some films sit you down inside someone's solitude until it becomes yours; others reach across the distance and make you feel found. Which one you need tonight usually depends on which one you already are.

FAQ
Won't a lonely film just make me feel worse?
Strangely, no. Watching someone else's solitude rendered with this much care tends to make your own feel less lonely — like the film has been where you are.
Can one film hold both loneliness and connection?
The most moving ones do. The reaching means more because the distance was real — you feel the gap and the bridge across it in the same breath.
