Did you notice that the Circle Cinema has six different films playing this coming week? Do you realize that they’re pulling that off with just one screen, seating 105 people?
It’s remarkable, like many things that happen at the Circle, where co-founder Clark Wiens so believes in educating the community about the world around them through the best in independent, foreign-language and documentary cinema, that he’s never hesitated to operate his historic theater as if he had four screens at his disposal.
Did you know that he decided to show a documentary called “Note By Note,” about the building of a Steinway piano, from selecting the wood in the forest to its performance on a concert stage, and that he’s been filling the theater for each showing?
Did you know that through Clark’s good works and the efforts of Saied Music, that the L1037 – the Steinway that is built during the making of the documentary – was shipped to Tulsa and is sitting in the Circle Cinema’s lobby, with a waiting list of people wishing to play it prior to screenings of the film?
While any other theater just rents a film and sets show times, Clark often makes going to the movies a special event. Showing a movie about NASA? Clark brings Oklahoma’s three living astronauts to the theater to speak to the audience. A Woody Guthrie documentary? Come meet Woody’s sister after the film.
