New function for the cinema house: a small production center or a movie making activity at Festiviteten, involving community into production and watching the result together.
Investigating if there is any film club or film school for younger generation in Levanger.
Getting in touch with the film production facility located near by the University College.
Example: “Silent movie” created together with the community, focusing on the Levanger cinema, collecting testimonies from the older generation, gathering scenarios and asking younger generation to reenact or reactivate those scenarios or their own scenarios. Musicians could also be involve creating the music and joining for the live soundtrack for the final screening at the Festiviteten.

One of the first idea, proposed by Veronica, was “funeral of the cinema” as performative, durational, scripted, carnivalesque set of events, a structure that would allow each of the participnts to develop their own chapter, involving audience, or different audiences, communities and citizens into active participation and collaborative process.
Different epizodes through performative act, sound or use of materials would address the loss of the cinema in the Festiviteten, at the same time pointing at possible change in the function: from projection to production. Epizodes would be filmed and the “funeral” could serve both as “new beginning”, and as a monument for the history of this important cultural place in the city.
