Sometimes, on a street corner, a forgotten but flamboyant façade recalls past glories. It's there to remind everyone that cinema is immortal.
The packed audiences of darkened cinema rooms are no more. People are gradually drifting back home to lounge in front of a multitude of online platforms, far less expensive than a trip to the picture palace. Habits have changed... the cinema is no longer a world of magic.
Movie theatres have lost their splendour, often pushed into the suburbs and choked left and right by fast-food chains as if they were ashamed to exist at all.
However, some of this fabulous heritage dedicated to the stuff of dreams which cinemas once were still exists, especially in France. This is one of the few countries left where theatres are still being built, sometimes with audacious architecture. Also, France is a place where their demise is fervently denied. -

This book is a tribute to reminders of the golden age of movie theatres the world over, now silent but determined not to be forgotten.
Simon Edelstein has spent twelve years travelling around the world - the USA, France, Italy, India, Morocco and Cuba - in search of abandoned cinemas, visiting far-flung areas in cities in over thirty countries, on the lookout for forgotten building façades, worn by the ravages of time, that still reveal signs testifying to their former glory.
Although these timeworn and forgotten picture palaces, asleep under the dust of so many years, have long ceased to be the focus of the Saturday night crowds, they reveal to Simon Edelstein's lens their splendid archaeological record of frontages, entrances, and vast auditoriums - like ships lost at sea.
This book is a tribute to reminders of the golden age of movie theatres the world over, now silent but determined not to be forgotten. -
