A splendidly composed photo with filmic grain in cinematic aspect ratio of a "Rio Cinema Celebrates 50 Years" banner on a squalid railway bridge with a nice bit of blue sky and a nice pile of rubbish bags at the right corner of the frame
I ASSURE YOU, WE'RE OPEN
(and will continue to be open for another half a century)

(Had to mask this to 70mm widescreen ish by eye, Snapseed very stupidly doesn't let you set crop ratios except for some very boring ones)
Red curtains cover the screen of the Rio Cinema with the words Rio shining on them. The bewitching art deco architecture can also be seen
Marxist magician Ian Saville captivated the audience
The birthday cake with staff and clown
And then we danced
