Angola Cinema honors the unique, fantastic and unknown architecture
of movie theaters in Angola, built in the decades before the end of
Portuguese colonial rule in 1975. Initially designed as traditional
closed spaces, open-air cinemas with terrace bars became the order
of the day, better suited as they were to a tropical climate. The
arrival of these cinemas in the 1960s brought atmosphere and
elegance to the experience of going to the movies; but these urban
cathedrals were also, importantly, a place where social barriers
dissolved and where liberation from colonialism was possible.
Walter Fernandes' (born 1979) photographs offer not only an
examination of the architectural history of these buildings, but
also an important document of urban organization in the twentieth
century, as well as the changing mentalities of a society living
with the prospect of its independence.
