Cine Teatro Jandaia, Historic movie theater in Baixa dos Sapateiros, Salvador, Brazil.

The Cine-Teatro Jandaia is a reinforced concrete building in Baixa dos Sapateiros whose Art Deco facade has rows of louvered windows, spaced vertical bands and a large central stained-glass panel. That panel, five metres high and 3.5 metres wide, was conceived by founder João Oliveira and shows a female figure with a jandaia bird. A small tower on the left side of the facade once held the siren that warned spectators the session was about to begin.

The Cine-Teatro Jandaia was founded in 1911 by Sergipe merchant João Oliveira, owner of the Panificadora Jandaia, in a warehouse on the Baixa dos Sapateiros seating 400 for silent films. After a series of closures, it shut in 1927. On 3 July 1931 Oliveira opened a modern building of 1,200 square metres, incorporating eight neighbouring houses, inspired by a trip to Europe.

The theater served as a gathering place for Salvador's residents and played a central role in the city's evening entertainment scene. People from different walks of life came together to watch films and experience performances by local and visiting artists.

The building is abandoned and extremely degraded, so it cannot be visited inside. It stands on Baixa dos Sapateiros in central Salvador; the 2014 donation transferred it to the state government, and in 2018 the IAB organized a public 'abraçaço' around it.

The cinema featured a special section called 'geral' that offered low-cost tickets, making entertainment accessible to people from poorer backgrounds. This area reflected the city's social structure and made the venue a truly communal gathering space.
