Can you help ensure that the legacy of movies at the Garde has a future? The 1450-seat Garde Movie Palace has stood proudly at the top of State Street in downtown New London since 1926, a cultural icon of the City and a magnet for visitors, shoppers and residents, helping shape generations of movie-going memories. After a century of light flickering through 20-minute reels of 35mm picture frames, movie reels have been replaced by a hard drive, and the rattling of gears on the movie projectors has become the hum of a computer. A new era of movies has arrived – Hollywood has gone digital. Whether the latest blockbuster or independent film, movies will no longer be printed on 35mm reels of film. Unless a new digital movie system is installed, movies at the Garde, after 87 years, will be no more. The Garde must go digital or go dark. The Save Movies at the Garde Campaign is our chance to ensure that the cinema of tomorrow continues to shine on the giant screen of the nationally recognized and beautifully restored Garde Movie Palace.
