Tuschinski Theater

A closer look at the Tuschinski Theater, taken during the IDFA 2008 use of the cinema, which is one of the most gorgeous theaters in the world today. Many of the photos are panoramas and have been uploaded in a larger size so you can enjoy the stunning detail of the many decorations in the cinema.

Photos were taken with my old Sony Cybershot camera, as it fits in the pocket of my pants and can quickly be used in covert photo actions, but it's renditions of the colors aren't always realistic, which is also due to the poor lighting conditions of many of the photos.
Tuschinski is full of vivid, vibrant and saturated colors, which can be seen better by the naked eye when the many rooms, auditoiriums, corridors and hallways are well lit. Hopefully someday I can try again with a proper digital SLR, some flashes and a tripod and loads of spare time, although there's also the awesome book "Theater Tuschinski - Restauratie van een Droom" about the lengthy and costly but highly rewarding restoration that was done in the Nineties by Pathé.
