The first Cine-Teatro Manatí was a wooden structure, which opened in 1914 and was destroyed by a fire in 1928. This Art Decó theater with 700 seats, located at the José Martí Pérez Park, opened in November 1944 and initially showed Argentinean and Mexican films, and Westerns. It seems to be under renovation.
Desire of a dog for an air-conditioned cinema on a hot day in Gibara.
The Lonely Planet writes: "Cuba's international film festival hosts most of its cutting-edge movies (some in English) in this small but quirky cinema covered with distinctive art-house movie posters. If you're going to go to the cinema anywhere in Cuba, it should be in Gibara – it's a local rite of passage."
We have just rediscovered an old tin of cine film made back in the 1950s and 60s, perfect timing for this challenge. I believe Kodak stopped producing this film in about 1976/7 as my father was unable to obtain any more after then. Each film would make a 3 minute recording but he would splice the developed films together to make them run for longer. Later he acquired a video camera but despite being able to hear sound with these films, the viewing of them on the tv never matched the excitement of getting the old projector and screen out then drawing the curtains to make the room as dark as possible in order to see our home movie.
This film was far harder to work with to photograph than I expected. It definitely had a mind of its own as to how it would place itself so after several attempts at arranging it artfully I gave into it and let it have its way.
For Macro Mondays anachronism.
The wheels start running / and with flickering light / the movie grabs the spectators / for the next 90 minutes. // No longer.
