The surreal sight of an abandoned open air cinema in Egypt’s Sinai Desert.
According to photographer Kaupo Kikkas (helluva name), the story goes that, 13 years ago, a Parisian film buff in Egypt had a glorious dream.
Raising the necessary capital back in France, he travelled to Cairo where he bought projection equipment, a generator and a tractor to erect the sail-like screen.
On opening night however, the generator was allegedly sabotaged by miffed local authorities. The premiere was cancelled and, to this day, the cinema hasn’t shown a single film.
It must happen. And when it does, let it be Dune.
