Tomorrow is The Little's b-day, so here's a time travel thread: The day is 10/17/29. The location is 240 East Ave. It's a moment full of Art Deco wonder. The cinematic wizardry debuts w/ Cyrano de Bergerac — the first ever Little film. (1/6)

A week after this magical moment, the Wall Street Crash of 1929 happened. A dark moment in American history, yet The Little did not go away. It thrived. (2/6)

Time-jump back to the present: The ongoing pandemic continues to put art house theaters in jeopardy. It has been 216 days since The Little last screened a film (trivia: That movie was SLAY THE DRAGON, a timely documentary on gerrymandering that is very much worth seeking out) 3/6

These are again tough times, but this thread isn't about sadness, it's about preservation. It's a celebration of the fact that The Little has spent 91 years in one of the world's best film communities. A place brimming with history, along with passionate, smart film fans. (4/6)

Tomorrow, October 17, 2020, is The Little's 91st birthday and a celebration of you, loyal movie lover. We are open 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. for outdoor brunch plus live music from Watkins & the Rapiers. There will be cake. (5/6)
