The Oldest Surviving Cinema in Stockholm, Sweden

After a year of film festival screenings for my documentary, Your Cinema Needs You, including two of which that took place in Sweden, I made a point of visiting the oldest still-operating movie theatre remaining in Stockholm. This is the Zita, a small, but beautiful art house cinema that first opened in 1913. What can I say? All of the research about old cinemas that went into the production now has me actively searching them out on my travel shoots.

Lunch at the Grand Cafe in Oslo, Norway

With a history stretching back more than 150 years, the Grand Cafe along Karl Johans Gate in the heart of Oslo, Norway is a landmark in its own right. Linked to the Grand Hotel and serving Nordic food with global influences, the Cafe was famously a haunt of bohemian artists and writers around the turn of the 20th century. In short, it was the perfect spot to stop and grab some Norwegian cuisine and an overdue afternoon beer during our exploration of the city.
