Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
Curatorial text by a Spanish critic for a show by an Argentine artist. Is this simply a show or screening?
El tipo de estructura ambiental que tales escenas promueven me permite pensar en ciertas fotografías de situaciones no vividas. Me refiero al suelo de las primeras sesiones de cine o de los teatros nickelodeón durante la primera década del siglo XX, cuyos programas incluían piezas de vodevil y cuyo ir y venir constante garantizaba superficies repletas de desperdicios.

film screening(s)
I'm wondering if what is being referred to are actually "screenings", because of the word "sesiones" in the original text.

Discussion
En la oscuridad la gente aprovechaba para hacer cosas que hoy no se conciben en un una sala de cine y probablemente hasta las escasas normas serían poco respetadas.
Por eso, tantos restos de desperdicios en el suelo
El ir y venir se refiere al paso de gente circulando por la sala
Creo que la traducción más que aludir al cine en general debe mencionar sesión, proyección...
Sesión de cine es una proyección, que puede y suele tener más de una película
Primeras son aquí las primeras de la historia
Primera sesión de la tarde o noche puede valer en otro contexto
