It mixes the documentary language with comedy and fiction, and is enriched by interviews to some of the most important voices of Turin cinematography.

The mission of Handbook of Movie Theaters' History is to explore and give back to the audience a deep reflection about the identity and the value of movie theater, in its social and anthropological role and as a mass media, and to analyze the experience of the viewer.
