A NEW, AUTHENTIC MOVIE THEATER OPENED UP IN OUR HOMETOWN, NAMED ‘CINEMA PARADISO’ AFTER THE WONDERFUL FILM BY GIUSEPPE TORNATORE. THE THEATER IS LOCATED ON A FORMER PARATROOPER BASE. WE HAD THE LUCKY CHANCE TO PARTLY DECORATE THE VENUE WITH TWO LARGE ILLUSTRATIONS, IN WHICH WE BOTH TRIED TO CAPTURE THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE LOCATION, AS WELL AS THE MAGICAL ASPECT OF FILM.
THE THEATER IS LOCATED ON A FORMER MILITARY LOCATION AND USED TO BE GROUND FOR SHOOTING TARGETS, BUT NOW WITH A BIT OF PAINT THOSE TARGETS ARE TRANSFORMED TO THE PEACEFULLY COUNTDOWN SEQUENCE OF VINTAGE FILM.
ADDITIONALLY, WE ALSO DESIGNED THE MOVIE THEATER’S LOGO.
