Winston-Salem’s a/perture cinema is under new leadership. The board of directors has named Leigh Dyer as its executive director. She replaces Lawren Desai, who started the theater dedicated to art house films in 2010, and recently announced her voluntary resignation.

The new film, Keep The Change, is an offbeat romantic comedy about two people looking for love in New York City.

Winston-Salem's Aperture Cinema is changing its business plan. The art house movie theatre has become a community-supported nonprofit.

While record stores, bookshops, and independent movie theatres are threatened in the digital age, many are still thriving.
