Summary:

The documentary portrait of theater operator Nicolas 'Nick' Nicolaou moves from the '70s Times Square adult film houses through decades of city regulation, chain takeovers, and cultural shifts, charting a charming odyssey through the history of film exhibition and New York City. Abel Ferrara traces the life and work of friend and fellow cinephile Nicolaou, a Cypriot immigrant who began working as a teenager in small neighborhood movie theaters around Manhattan, defying gentrification, changing viewing habits and corporate dominance in the 1980s, only to emerge decades later as one of New York City₂s last independent theater owners. A moving tribute to friendship, tenacity, and the love of cinema, The Projectionist is also a timely paean to what going to the movies is all about.
