“The Deadly Beauty of Cinemas” by Simon Edelstein
Simon Edelstein’s photographs highlight the disappearance of old movie theaters around the world, capturing the splendor of this unique architectural heritage. An exhibition to see and revisit until February 28, 2025, in the common areas of the Mont-Blanc Center, a heritage building situated above the Plaza Cinema, on every floor. Free entry.
The Plaza and the Mont-Blanc Centre – the building above the cinema theatre – designed by Marc J. Saugey are
iconic examples of post-war modernist architecture in Geneva.
The Plaza was the first cinema in Switzerland to screen in Cinemascope.
Keeping cinema at its core, the Plaza Centre Cinéma will engage with various cultural disciplines and offer a diverse program to a broad audience.
