In 1958 Cuba is a Caribbean island in living an economy boom. The proximity and the exchanges with the Unites States take economic growth and vanguards technology to the Island since the late 19th century. Due to this growth many cinemas were constructed in those years. Enormous advertisement with scenes of the major movies were hanging on the streets of Havana and every week the programs of the different theater are distributed in every neighborhood of the city. On the weekend, the cinemas are full people dressed in their best clothes. Everyone also the less fortunate can afford the magic of spending time at the movies
With more than 130 halls only in the great Havana area and a total of 511 on the island, Cuba counts more cinemas in it’s capital than New York and Paris. Cuba is the island of the cinemas. Most of these Halls were constructed and managed by American companies such as the 20 Century Fox, Columbia Pictures and Metro Goldwin Meyer and where showing the movies produced in Hollywood and Cinecittà. After the Revolution, the number of halls increased to more than 600 in all the country.
During the past 50 years, these structures, which once where the key for the society around it have been transformed or abandoned. Today only 19 halls are still used as a cinema in all Cuba. Some are now theaters some host local dance groups and the majority are left to a slow and inexorable death.
This is a voyage around the Island during which I documented what are the cinemas now how do they look like outside and inside. These buildings, that where once the gathering of the people, have fallen into the oblivion of their own society.
