Cinema Treasures

Ross Melnick and Andreas Fuchs take readers from the nickelodeon to the megaplex and show how changes in moviemaking and political, social, and technological forces have influenced the way we see movies. Photographs from archives like the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and movie theater ephemera sourced from private collections complement Melnick’s informative and engaging history. Also included throughout the book are Fuchs’ profiles detailing 25 classic movie theaters that have been restored and renovated and which continue to operate today.
