Cinema Novaâs showing of the documentary 'The 10 Conditions of Love' provides another means of how its unique nature and independent operation distinguishes it from other cinemas in meeting the needs of its audiences. The author of the piece, Phillippa Hawker, identifies how many may view the action to air the âdocumentary on exiled Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeerâ (http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/movies/nova-to-screen-uighur-film-20100218-ofgd.html) as controversial, as protests broke out at the Melbourne International Film Festival. Nova general manager Kristian Connelly said the action not to show the film âwouldnât be fair to filmmakersâ and as such have decided to air the film. The Novaâs staff were prepared for potential protests that may erupt because of the airing of the documentary, as Mr. Conelly said, âWe are very mindful of the possibilities and we take our duty of care very seriously when it comes to staff and patronsâ(http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/movies/nova-to-screen-uighur-film-20100218-ofgd.html). Cinema Novaâs decision to show the film, despite its controversy shows its desire to continue to show whatever films its audiences have an interest in. While many other theatres may be discouraged from showing the documentary, the articles portrays the Nova as a complex that will show even the most of controversial of films if it means the audience is satisfied. The article shows the Nova as a theatre that provides its audiences with as much variety and diversity as possible when it comes to enjoying the cinema experience. |
