The Cine-Tourist is a website about connections between maps and films, and about local cinema (and sometimes about photographs, and sometimes just about the Nouvelle Vague).  

The Cine-Tourist only writes about places that he knows, and since he doesn't travel much this site is chiefly about films made in Paris, Geneva and London (especially Muswell Hill, where he lives).
