In a recent Conde Nast Traveller piece called “13 Coolest Movie Theatres Around the World,” Munich’s Filmtheater Sendlinger Tor gets its proper due. I fell in love with what looked like a hand-painted marquee during a walking tour of Munich that journalist Thomas Schultze (of the Munich-based G + J Media Entertainment) treated me to in June 2012. It’s one of the rare single-screen venues let in that town, and one of the few remaining in the world. The top photo is on the Conde Nast page; the bottom photo was taken by yours truly.
