Hi Joey:  Is there any chance you can put any portion of this press release on your blog as we get closer to the date and as your time and space allow.  A number of people have told us they can’t wait for the Basilicas show to come to town, and after seeing the Uffizi Gallery movie they were surprised at how many folks still don’t  know about the show or the Arts series.  It is a program we have been running at Gloucester Cinema since the spring, but it seems to still be a too well kept secret.  Any help will be appreciated — “Arm chair touring” Rome will be a nice way to wrap up the summer for many of the locals.  Thanks  Mary Williams, Gloucester Cinema.
The Papal Basilicas of Rome is a unique film that combines history, spirituality, architecture and art to emotionally involve audiences, as they witness the magnificence that lies inside four Papal Basilicas.  Anyone who saw Florence and the Uffizi Gallery can testify to how truly breathtaking and painstakingly detailed the productions in the Art and Architecture series can be.
Whether you have visited Italy extensively or wish you could travel to the Eternal City just once, this 3D film brings to life the Basilicas of St. Peter, St. John in the Lateran, St. Paul Outside the Walls and St. Mary Major.  From you seat, Gloucester Cinema’s big screen will place you in sacred sanctuaries, majestic cathedrals that are timeless locations so you can see ancient relics and artifacts.
This is the movie that everyone following Gloucester Cinema’s Art and Architecture series has been waiting for.  With two shows only – Sunday 8/28 at 10 a.m. and Thursday, September 1 at 7 p.m., this exclusive north of Boston event runs for 90 minutes.  The theater located at 74 Essex Ave, (Route 133) has plenty of parking, easy access and is handicap accessible. Tickets can be purchase online at gloucestercinema.com or in person at the theater box office.  For a sneak peak, you can check out the trailer-

Cape Ann TV’s Lunch & Learn Series: How To Make A Movie On Your iPhone

August 22, 2016 ~ catvbecky ~

Cape Ann TV’s Lunch & Learn Series continues on Wednesday, August 24th, 2016 at 12pm with “How To Make A Movie On You iPhone” presented by Professional Video Producer, Ted Reed.

It used to cost thousands, if not millions of dollars to make a movie. But now the basic production tools are in the hands of millions of people. Your smart phone can capture better video than most top of the line professional cameras did only a few years ago; all you need are a few tips and a few (if any) accessories to produce a festival-ready film. Join independent producer Ted Reed for a Cape Ann TV Lunch and Learn discussion that will show you what you need to know and what works best to get high-quality video out of your iPhone. The principles are the same for almost any current smart phone; we’ll concentrate on what the iPhone can do and the free or cheap apps that will help you get your indie feature made.

Participants are encouraged to install the ProCam app* which we will do a quick tutorial on, but even the stock Camera app will do the trick.

Space is limited for this event; please RSVP to rtober@capeanntv.org to reserve your spot.

Trip Advisor reviews of Harbor Tours:

“This trip should be taken by anyone visiting the Gloucester area! The breathtaking sights seen from the boat are ones that can’t be seen by car.” – JB

“What a great way to introduce the younger kids to boat travel, some history, and where their food really comes from! The crew was very good with the children abroad, aged 3-8. The rest of us enjoyed the ride, and learned a few things about Gloucester and its history in art, the fishing industry, and interesting earlier inhabitants. ” – MP
