Cinema Paradiso is hoping to set up shop at 44 Avenue A in the East Village,
where the Pioneer Theatre once was. 

The Pioneer Theatre unspooled many Glass Eye classics, such as 
HABIT, SANTO DOMINGO BLUES, THE OFF SEASON, THE ROOST,
AUTOMATONS, I CAN SEE YOU, SATAN HATES YOU and more.

The Pioneer also made indy history in March 2002, when it began midnight screenings of
Donnie Darko that ran for 28 consecutive months.

EV Grieve has the scoop.
