I don't understand this... The drive, missing a day of work or school - all
are much bigger problems than paying 20 NIS for most people... Going to
a movie, a club, or whatever would cost you at least 50 shekels. I doubt
20 shekels made any difference to people's decisions.

Maybe if this was just an evening thing lasting (say) 2-3 hours, more
people would be able to make it.

By the way, what happens if only 6 people are interested - isn't it
possible to just view this movie in somebody's home on his VCR?

I wonder if instead of taking the cinemateque it will be possible to take
some movie room in some university (I know the technion has one in Beit
Hastudent and it's probably possible to view movies in many lecture halls).
That would take away half the cost, and I don't see any "danger" of hoards
of students swarming in to see that movie.

By the way, can anyone post a link to a description/review of that movie?

2500 shekels for renting the cinemateque for 3 hours appears to me an
outrageous price. Considering last time I've been to the cinemateque (in
Haifa) there weren't more than 30 people in the audience, so they probably
didn't make more than 500 shekels for that screening. Similarly for the
price of the movie: 2000 shekels to view the movie one time, regardless of
the number of viewers? Seems really weird. I doubt even high-budget
commercial movies cost as much to the cinemas.
