“Stories can conquer fear, you know. They can make the heart bigger.”
― Ben Okri.
Stories are essential and they need to be told. But stories are no more limited to print. There now exists an important connection, a creative flow of sorts, between print and the screen. With more and more books being adapted into movies, stories are being narrated at a wider, more inclusive level. This flow is significant because it transfers the medium of narration from print to screen, without demeaning or undermining either. We believe it is crucial to document this widespread change, which is why we created Paper-Or-Popcorn, where you can look for your favourite novel, side by side with its movie adaptation. The purpose is not to determine which medium is better, but to simply appreciate the change we currently take for granted. Here, you will find all the information you need about your favourite story, whether you choose to read it on paper or watch it with some popcorn.
