| book description |

A celebration of the world’s most cherished cinemas, from vintage movie houses to quirky start-ups. Grab your popcorn and settle in to the world of Silver Screens, where the magic of cinema lives on. Cinemas are where emotions come alive – where heartstrings are tugged, fears exposed, and joy explodes with every happy ending. Cinemas are a place of communal experience, of first dates and unforgettable reactions. Silver Screens captures that magic, celebrating remarkable movie houses and drive-ins around the world that are still showing films today. Part travel guide, part love letter to cinema, it whisks you across the globe through stunning photography. Step inside art deco masterpieces like Jaipur’s Raj Mandir and Melbourne’s Sun Theatre; visit icons such as Hollywood’s Chinese Theatre and Madrid’s Cine Doré; and uncover hidden gems in far-flung corners of the world. From the northernmost to the southernmost, from India’s largest single screen to Italy’s officially smallest, from Britain’s oldest to the world’s very first – Silver Screens is your ticket to cinema’s most extraordinary destinations.
