In the Egyptian desert has a strange cinema "End of the World", which was never shown films

Rows of wooden chairs gradually fills peskom



The most terrible cinema in the world is located in the Sinai Peninsula, in the Egyptian desert. Well, not quite cinema - in fact it's rows of wooden chairs. This place was called "Cinema" End of the World "».

Neat wooden seat does not look apocalyptic - rather, this theater could use a mysterious ancient civilization. But with 150 seats completely worn out, the base for the screen broke, and the building that once housed a generator and a projector, lies in ruins. Surprisingly, the theater only ten years old.



Estonian Kaupo Kikkas photographer says: "One day at the beginning of this millennium in the Sinai desert, where he took a crazy Frenchman. After several clubs magic smoke, he wondered - why is it in the middle of the desert there is no cinema? He went to Paris, got hold of some money, I came to Cairo, where he bought a seat and equipment in an old movie theater. Then the Frenchman returned to the Sinai Desert generator set and drove monstrous tractor to drag the screen up the hill. Everything was ready for the premiere ».

However, the Frenchman did not realize one important thing - local authorities: the desert-formally is in Egypt, and the government is not too liking such an initiative, especially coming from a crazy foreigner. "Accidentally" everything went wrong, the generator did not work, and no film in the cinema and did not show.





Now if 150 people are waiting for the audience that will never come. In Egypt, it is forbidden to just walk through the desert, if you do not spend special tours. Tours and excursions are constantly held in the same places, and one tourist route is just two kilometers away from the theater. Most locals know about this place, but because of all this confusion between the Government, the French and the Bedouins no one ever talks about it.





I wonder what future generations will think about the cinema a century later? Perhaps they imagine what great movies were shown here - unless, of course, by the time of the cinema "End of the World" at least something left.
