Virtual cinema continues at the Hop this winter. How? Why? Because Science. We've all taken a much greater interest in science, medicine and technology this pandemic year — and film remains a great delivery vehicle for scientists to share breakthroughs and concerns with the general public. Every Thursday, two movies will "open" for a weeklong run, available for you to watch 24/7. Patrons purchase a ticket on the Hop website and are given a secure link to watch the film through Eventive. We are also continuing our popular #SmallScreenFun series, featuring live chats with filmmakers and actors.
