One photographer’s quest to revive the forgotten glory of America’s abandoned movie theaters
May 27, 2017 Marija Georgievska
Most people watch movies in theaters found in shopping malls or part of a multiplex chain, but that wasn’t always the case.
Some older cinemas around the world have long and interesting histories. Some of them were shut down, abandoned, and later restored. Some were simply abandoned but retain their remarkable beauty.
Photographer Matt Lambros began exploring these old picture houses and capturing their haunting beauty nearly 10 years ago. He scoped out more than 100 abandoned theaters around America.
Lambros graduated from Boston University’s departments of digital imaging and photojournalism, and since then has been documenting all sorts of buildings.
These old theatres are a treasure and must be saved. Yet so many are already gone.
