Silver Screen Cities Lisbon: Celebrating City Cinema going

Lisbon is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and a great city for cinema-going.From Baixa to Bairro Alto, from Almada to Costa da Caparica, from Cais do Sodré to Cascais, David Kintore explores Lisbon by visiting its remarkable range of cinemas.Written by a filmgoer who loves wandering around cities as much as he enjoys sitting in cinemas watching films, the Silver Screen Cities books spring from the notion that visiting cinemas and their neighbourhoods is a wonderful way of getting to know different cities.The books in the Silver Screen Cities series are a celebration of city cinema-going.Unlike conventional collections of film reviews, the Silver Screen Cities books are about the whole experience surrounding cinema-going rather than just a series of film reviews.The film reviews in the Silver Screen Cities books sometimes take up only one or two paragraphs in a chapter.That's because city cinema-going is about much more than just the film that is being shown.It's about the cinema itself and the audience watching the film.It's about the unique vibe of different cities with their varied array of bars, cafés, restaurants and art museums.And it's about the feeling of freedom that comes from wandering a city's streets before or after seeing a film.
