THE NORTH SHORE MOVIE TIMESTHE NORTH SHORE MOVIE TIMES Serving fans of alternative movie theaters

on Boston's North Shore

AUGUST & SEPTEMBER 2012

BIRDS OF A FEATHER (SHOW FLICKS TOGETHER)Cape Ann Community Cinema and CinemaSalem join forces for the (un)common good

Cape Ann Community Cinema in Gloucester and

CinemaSalem in Salem – the two coolest independent cinemas

on Boston's North Shore – have joined forces to promote their

respective line-ups of alternative cinematic programming.

“It's a natural for us,” notes Cape Ann Community

Cinema's creative director, Robert Newton, “considering that

CinemaSalem provided us with some of the inspiration to open

our theater in the first place.”

“We're always sending patrons to each other anyway,”

says CinemaSalem's manager, Kereth Cowe-Spigai. “Now it's

official – we are 'sister cinemas.'”

The single-screen, living room-style Cape Ann

Community Cinema opened in 2008, and the 4-screen miniplex

CinemaSalem was launched in 2006 on the site of the former

Patriot Cinemas. In August 2012, the CACC opened a second

screen called Film Haven at 11 Pleasant Street in Gloucester.

Both entities are acclaimed by patrons and press alike,

with the famous CACC supporter Liv Ullmann saying of her

home-away-from-home, “Bergman would have loved this

place!”, and CinemaSalem's patron base voting it “Best North

Shore Movie Theater.” • • •

This year, however, that changed, as Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 thriller “Vertigo” was named all-time champ.

Experience this suspenseful classic in the comfort of our giant living room – and pipe in after the show with your opinion as to what you think is the Greatest Film Of All Time – and sample some of Hitchcock's favorite dishes.
