People behind the film

It does not happen often, I must admit, but sometimes a film comes along which I enjoy so enormously that I wonder about the people behind it.

On April 12, 1996, my husband and I watch a film called Seven at Bintaro Plaza. Although the story had gruesome parts in it, the directing and camera work were superb. After the film finished we waited for the closing credits to appear. To my horror the projectionist decided to stop the film without showing the names of the people involved in the making of Seven.

I know most people like to exit the cinema as soon as the story line has finished but there are some of us that appreciate more than just the story line. Closing credits are an integral part of a movie and therefore should be screened in its entirety.

I'm almost certain there's a law that forces cinemas to show them. Of course, there was nobody available to complain to, except for the giggling girls who took our tickets. Maybe through this letter I'll be able to find the person who is responsible for switching off the lights half an hour after the film has started.
