#NOODTAYONGSINE

 

FDCP believes in the power of cinema to transport, entertain, and inform. We believe in the power of cinema to unify us around a common experience and its ability to stimulate intense feelings. Crying, laughing, and screaming together in the cinema is generally way more satisfying than what you feel at home alone on the couch, clutching the remote control, or fiddling with your phone.

Therefore, FDCP has created a campaign that will keep the support for cinema alive. As cinemas start to ease into the "new normal" new cinema protocols will be set in place, at first it may feel different and awkward but it is our duty as cinemagoers to abide by these rules. Hopeful for the day that we as a nation can once more enjoy films as a collective.
