GLOBAL MOVIE DAY
Right in the heart of Oscar season, the second Saturday in February celebrates Global Movie Day to honor the way movies have captured audiences’ hearts and minds around the world for over 100 years. Since their inception, movies have transcended geography, language, time, and culture, connecting us all through the power of storytelling.
There are many parts that come together to bring a movie to life. They all play a role in telling the story before the first flicker of light on the screen, before the first note of the musical score plays. Collectively, these elements create magnificent narratives that captivate us time and again.
HOW TO OBSERVE #GlobalMovieDay
- What was the first movie you saw at a drive-in theater?
- Who loves musicals? Tell us about the first musical you saw.
- You probably don’t remember your first animated movie. Which is the first one you DO remember?
- So it’s date night. What movie did you and your significant other first see together?
- Tell us about your favorite movie line.
- We know you hide under the blankets when the scary music starts. Tell us about the first time you discovered the horror genre!
