Focus Features celebrated its 20th birthday this weekend. To celebrate the occasion, the film studio released a new reel showcasing its history and announced plans to supply audiences with places to enjoy their films. “Cinema holds great power,” Focus Features chairman Peter Kujawski said. “That is the simple belief that has guided us since we asked you to join us on a journey of discovery that began twenty years ago. It has been a voyage motivated by the boundless joy that comes from experiencing the world anew when seeing it through the eyes of others, and it has been steered by the conviction that sharing that experience in a theater with friends, family, and strangers not only delights us, but brings us closer to our loved ones, our community, and the world at large.”
