at an old Oakland theater in Grand Lake.
- Role: backdrop
- In the book: Odell sees Blindspotting at an old theater in Grand Lake the day before reading Vivrekar’s thesis. The film’s treatment of gentrification and the Collin/Miles stare-down shapes her argument about attention, bias and will.
- Why it matters: It is where the key film scene was encountered; the theater matters mostly as her neighborhood and the occasion for the argument.
