"Many neighbors thanked us and even offered us some home-made masks," explains one of the La Clef Survival organizers, Claire Emmanuelle Blot. "At the first screening there were only the neighbors from the opposite watching, then more and more people came out in the street.

"For our concerns the rooftop screenings were the most relevant option we could think of and most probably other cinemas in Paris and other cities will start, if they haven't done it already, continuing to do it after the lockdown. Initiatives in collaboration with local town halls can also be imagined, like movie festivals held in the streets or parks for instance. We personally think that public spaces are to be reinvented in this very moment."
