Obsidian Cinema Landing

When to use

• A cinema, screening room, film club, or festival needs a landing page that feels like the room itself: dark, quiet, focused on the screen
• Your current venue page buries showtimes under history, mission statements, and press quotes, and visitors bounce before finding what's on
• You are launching a new screening series, a pop-up cinema, or a members' screening night and need one page that carries the whole announcement
• A venue page looks fine on desktop but its showtime list collapses into an unreadable wall on phones, where most ticket buyers actually are
• You want the page to sell the experience (the dark room, the big screen, the shared silence) without drowning the practical facts in atmosphere

Workflow

1. Answer the three questions first (input: the venue + program → output: the above-the-fold block)
   A visitor decides in seconds on three facts: what's showing, when, and how to book. Put all three above the fold: the current film or series title, the next two or three screening dates and times, and one booking button per screening. Everything else — the room, the story, the membership — goes below. If the booking link is not in the first screen, the page is a poster, not a landing page. Write the title and times as plain text, not baked into an image, so they stay readable, searchable, and editable when a screening sells out.
2. Set the obsidian system (input: venue mood → output: color + type rules)
   Build the page on a near-black obsidian field (not pure black — a deep charcoal with a faint warm or cool undertone), with silver-grey text and one restrained accent reserved for booking actions and the current screening. Type is large, quiet, and high-contrast: titles in a serif or strong grotesk, body in a plain readable sans, nothing thin or decorative at small sizes. Imagery is dark stills or posters with generous black around them — the page should feel like a room with the lights down, not a page with a dark background painted on. One accent color only; a second accent turns atmosphere into decoration.
3. Build the program section (input: screening schedule → output: showtime list)
   List every upcoming screening as a row: date, time, title, format or note (e.g. "35mm", "subtitled", "Q&A after"), and a booking action. Rows must be scannable in one glance — a visitor checks their free evening against the list, not reads it like an essay. Sold-out screenings stay listed and marked sold out (removing them makes the program look thinner than it is), with a waiting-list link where one exists. If a screening has no booking link yet, say when booking opens instead of leaving a dead button.
