End of the World Cinema

On a sunny day at the very beginning of this millennium, a crazy Frenchman found himself in the desert of Sinai. After some puffs of magic smoke, he wondered - how come there are no cinemas in the middle of the desert? 

He flew back to Paris and arranged some money. After that, he went to Cairo to buy original old seats and projection equipment from an old cinema theatre. Then came back to Sinai, arranged a generator for electricity a monstrous tractor to pull up the screen that was like a gigantic sail. And now everything was more or less ready for the premier. 

The only detail he forgot was that this beautiful landscape happens to be in Egypt. Country where local authorities are not too happy about such enthusiasm and spirit, especially if it comes from a crazy Frenchmen…

At the premiere evening, everything went "accidentally" wrong, their electricity generator was sabotaged and no movies were ever screened at the End of the World Cinema.

So there it lies and waits - a monument from another reality and time.
