## Resource

French photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre have spent years capturing the beauty and decay of abandoned movie palaces across North America. Their stark, black-and-white images of once-grand theaters in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, San Diego, and Toronto evoke nostalgia for the golden age of cinema and highlight the shift from single-screen theaters to multiplexes. The photos serve as a visual rap on urban decay and cultural fade-out, reminding us of the importance of preserving these historic sites before they vanish into the shadows.
