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).

The Cine-Tourist was very proud that his post describing Irma Vep posting a letter was taken up and published by the splendidly curious magazine Le Tigre, in its October issue.
To discover some of the many treasures collected by Le Tigre over the last seven years, visit the website and archives here. You can get an online aperçu of the translated piece here, and order a pdf of the whole magazine here. |
