Screen-shifting : consumption, riskless risks and the changing geographies of cinema

Auteur :
HUBBARD, P.

Description :
Case-study data from Leicester are used to explore the forms of sociality played out in different sites of film exhibition. They suggest that multiplex cinemas are frequented prodominantly by consumer groups seeking an exopolitan leisure experience that is predictable and riskless. It appears that there are many who continue to frequent city-centre and suburban cinemas because they prefer the less predictable ambience of urban leisure.
