The arts help us intellectually, physically & emotionally cope w/the ever-changing trials of the human condition.

This moment is one of those.

They can help us laugh, help us cry, lets us get angry & sometimes find a path to resolution ...

... They also fill us w/questions & make us yearn for answers. Cinema is the newest of the major art forms, the Seventh Art & perhaps the most accessible.

Movies also have the uncanny ability to build empathy. They can transcend borders, cultures, languages ...

... class divides & even generations. They help us find universal truths & feel connected as citizens of a shared planet.

The late film critic @ebertchicago called movies “empathy machines,” also stating that “empathy is the most essential quality of civilization” ...

(7/12)
... There are many things we need right now to deal w/this moment & empathy is surely one of those.

IU Cinema vows to keep some form of communal film experience going during these trying & isolating times.

From now until the end of our planned spring programming ...

We understand these events do not replace the experience of being together, but again, this is an unprecedented moment.

We are looking forward to the day when we can see you face-to-face again.
