Underground Cinema
Not
guerilla cinema but rather literally, a cinema underground.
The Guardian | In a secret Paris cavern, the real underground cinemaPolice in Paris have discovered a fully equipped cinema-cum-restaurant in a large and previously uncharted cavern underneath the capital's chic 16th arrondissement.
Officers admit they are at a loss to know who built or used one of Paris's most intriguing recent discoveries.
'We have no idea whatsoever,' a police spokesman said.
'There were two swastikas painted on the ceiling, but also celtic crosses and several stars of David, so we don't think it's extremists. Some sect or secret society, maybe. There are any number of possibilities.'
In addition to the symbological flourishes, they found a bar and some movies, mostly thrillers but nothing banned or offensive. Read the article for the whole description. I'm more intrigued by the closer:
Patrick Alk, a photographer who has published a book on the urban underground exploration movement and claims to be close to the group, told RTL radio the cavern's discovery was "a shame, but not the end of the world". There were "a dozen more where that one came from," he said.
"You guys have no idea what's down there."
