Amsterdam and Brussels are great cities for cinema-going.
David Kintore explores Amsterdam by visiting cinemas such as Studio K, The Movies, EYE Film Institute, the magnificent Pathé Tuschinski, and many more. He explores Brussels with visits to cinema gems including Arenberg, Cinemathek, Vendôme, Flagey Studio 5, Styx and Nova.
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.
