Josh Larsen on the Return of Cinema Interruptus | MZS | Roger Ebert
Briefly

Cinema Interruptus is an interactive film event where audiences watch a movie collectively and then engage in in-depth discussions over several days. Initially hosted by Roger Ebert at the Conference on World Affairs, the format allows attendees to pause the film to share thoughts and observations. After Roger's passing, Josh Larsen revitalized this tradition in 2017, transitioning it from Boulder to Chicago. The event is set to take place again at the Siskel Film Center, featuring Robert Altman's "The Player" for its audience discussions.
Cinema Interruptus allows attendees to watch a film together, then dive deeper into the movie over three days, fostering audience interaction and discussion.
After Roger Ebert's death, Josh Larsen revived Cinema Interruptus in 2017, transitioning it from Boulder to Chicago, continuing the interactive film analysis tradition.
