OPEN CINEMA Season 13
Numbers, sabbaticals & upcoming screenings.
The Number 13 likes to be different.
Wikipedia can't decide if 13 is lucky or unlucky, but one thing's for sure: people prefer to avoid it. In 1760 BC,
a Babylonian legal code omitted law #13;
New York City skyscrapers don't tend to have a 13th floor and some airline seat numbers jump from 12 to 14. The fear of the number 13 even has a name:
'triskaidekaphobia'.
While we're not especially superstitious here at OPEN CINEMA, season 13 is definitely shaping up to be different: in short, we're taking a sabbatical year to review, regroup and refocus as we evolve with the digital times.
