Behind the Screens: Quad Cinema’s Programming Director on Rebranding Movie Experience

Like every other still-existing Village institution, the theater has had its fair share of ups and downs, revitalizations and near-collapses, but starting April 14th, the next phase in the Quad’s life begins, as it finally reopens after millions of dollars of renovations, redesigns, and rebranding. Charting its new cinematic path is Director of Repertory Programming, C. Mason Wells, who spoke to us about his programming goals, his observations about the state of cinema in New York, and what we can expect from the new-and-improved Quad Cinema.
