There has been nothing quite like the lockdown of 2020-21 in the history of cinema, but it echoes what happened to art cinemas during World War II. In Britain, all cinemas were ordered closed at the outbreak in September 1939 – then were allowed to reopen within the month. Most of them continued even through the Blitz a year later, in 1940-41, but art cinemas – sometimes called ‘continental’ cinemas – were a different case.
