Now, some three decades later, Rothbart’s own film, “17 Blocks,” is playing there.
“I saw a ton of movies there, and it was kind of like a holy place to me,” said Rothbart, 45. “I guess it hasn’t fully hit me yet, that I made a film and that it’s showing there and someone could see it like I saw those movies.”
