  • During our summer holiday this year in Skopelos, I was moved by this old cinema building, that has long-since stopped screening. I imagined the crowds of excited people of Skopelos Town queuing to watch movies as a community, with its billboard and searchlight drawing in people. It now stands empty as a monument to the halcyon days of the silver screen.
