New Approach

Changing Cinema

Letterboxd has been changing the way people approach cinema now. Rather than watching a trailer or reading a synopsis, people will go straight to Letterboxd. For Jay Bennet, "It's my main source of trivia and finding out who's in things and what director made that and who did the music. When I'm just watching something, I like to go down the list of who's in that and then that kind of creates a spider's web. It’s how I've approached this year in watching films." Seligman another film buff mentions, “I feel like I only see a movie now if I see that people are talking about it online, particularly on Letterboxd. If I know other women, queer people, Jews, young people in general are watching something and are excited, I know that will be represented on Letterboxd and not as much in the traditional film journalism establishment.”
