"Cine Cuba", a long gone cinema with 900 seats in Calle Reina - La Habana.
In Havana, the cinema Cuba was the first to open and was considered one of the most elegant at the time. With its early 1900 facade in white granite, it's very stunning. The insignia "CUBA" was added in the 1950s. The inside is beautiful, and you can see clearly the first floor which had seating and the second floor, which held the projection room. It's now used as a laboratory for wood reportedly, but obviously it looks abandoned.
Giving the illusion of a pyrotechnic display, sunlight reflects from the fruiting bodies (called sporangiophores) of Spinellus fusiger, a parasitic fungus that infects mycenoid mushrooms such as Mycena haematopus (also known as Burgundydrop bonnet, or bleeding Mycena).
Spinellus fusiger grows in the cap of the hapless mushroom host and eventually breaks through to produce the sporangiophores bearing tiny pin head structures (sporangia) containing spores. This parasitic fungus is widely distributed and is found throughout Europe, Asia and North America.

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 ā 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 now abandoned Cine-Teatro Fausto in La Habana was built in 1938 and designed in an Art Deco style, by architect Saturino Parajon. It has a simple Art deco facade, with vertical patterns above the entrance, flanked by horizontal delineations and has curved corners. Decorative botanical friezes and reliefs suggesting castlations on top.
It was the first theatre in Havana to have air-conditioning and its walls contain a cavity, protecting it from outside noise. The original theater was build in 1915
