Silent Screens

Focusing on the decline of single-screen theaters in small-town America, the book features evocative photography by Putnam that highlights these cinemas' transformation. Accompanied by an introduction from Robert Skylar and insightful essays by notable figures like Peter Bogdanovich and Molly Haskell, the work serves as a nostalgic homage to a bygone era. The collection includes 58 duotones and 24 halftones, capturing the essence of these cultural landmarks.
