AMERICAN FORK, Utah — Two American Fork movie buffs are bringing an old theater back to life, which first started showing films in 1950.
In October, Joseph and Dvorah Governale opened Maven Cinemas in the building that housed Towne Cinemas for decades on American Fork's Main Street.“I can’t help but think about the films that must have been shown on this screen in the 50’s and 60’s,” said Dvorah Governale.Maven Cinemas is hoping a special approach to film selections will allow the movie house to compete with megaplexes and streaming services.On a typical weekday, each of the two screens will offer three different movies.
Pop culture classics like"Ferris Bueller’s Day Off," family films like Disney’s"Aladdin,’"and selections from Hollywood’s golden age like"Casablanca" are examples of movies offered by Maven Cinemas during November.“You've got over 100 years of cinema history that you can pull from a library,” said Dvorah.“We have had so many members of the community that have shared memories of what this specific theater means to them,” Dvorah said.
“There is nothing like that moment that you share with strangers. Like having Yoda pull out his lightsaber for the first time,” Dvorah said.
