A five-cinema multiplex in a town of 300 residents – makes sense, right? Keith Stata, the protagonist of this film, thought so, and built a theater in a forest in northern Ontario, Canada, complete with bears and raccoons.

Stata managed to operate the theater for more than 40 years, and when cinemas in several surrounding communities closed, he collected equipment, seats, and old posters from them and built a “movie palace,” which doubles as a museum packed with artifacts and memorabilia from thousands of films. The place attracted families from nearby towns, who came to spend time at this “palace” and watch movies in a dark, cozy theater with popcorn, of course.

Now audiences are shrinking, Stata isn’t getting younger, and the fate of this unique venue remains unclear. With only two or three audience members at each screening, Stata says, the venue won’t be able to hold on much longer. We, the viewers, are left questioning the future of the special place that we experience through a charming film that is full of love for humanity and for cinema.
