Sprinkling Star Dust Over Cleveland

Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and in turn affect them. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating or indoctrinating citizens.

About Me

Christine Marie Bailey: I was just five years old when I saw my first movie. In 1989 my father and grandmother took my brother and myself to Apollo Theater in Oberlin Ohio to see Ghost Busters 2. It was the first time I had ever stepped foot into any theater, and it was an instant love affair. Whenever I wanted to see a movie, I would ask my parents if we could go to Apollo, and soon I became a regular patron there. I grew up there and I still go there now as an adult. I always feel at home when I visit Apollo. What I love about Apollo is that I am so captivated by the allure of “Old Hollywood” that radiates from the exterior and the interior of the theater. Apollo was built in 1913; it has a 1950s-style marquee, outdoor ticket booth and vinyl-padded walls. As a child, I remember standing in long lines around the street, and I remember the atmosphere was filled with excitement and anticipation for the film.Best of all whenever I visit Apollo, regardless of what film I am seeing, I always feel like I go back to a time when it was the story that made the film, instead of the effects. Apollo had given me my love for film, and now I am going to school to be a movie reviewer.

This Place Matters To Many Generations

If you're ever near Oberlin, I highly recommend you make a visit to the Apollo, and if you see me, don't hesitate to stop me and say hi. Chances are you'll always see me there watching a good show.
