Italians are enjoying a similar experience with the social media campaign #CinemaDaCasa, which sees movies projected on to building facades in Rome every evening at 10pm; screening everything from classics to family films and feel-good favourites. In Paris, the closed La Clef cinema is projecting movies onto the wall of an adjacent apartment building, while in Lithuania an empty airport has been transformed into a drive-in theatre.
In a city known for spectacle, Soul Kitchen in Business Bay stands out by doing the opposite. It whispers instead of shouting. Tucked away from the obvious hotspots, the restaurant has become a quiet cultural landmark — a space where food, art, and identity move together in harmony.
