Gloria

In the location's words:

The Gloria cinema, opened in 1954, exudes the cozy charm of a classic cinema from the 1950s. After several renovations, the cinema now has modern equipment and offers a high-quality movie experience with 342 seats, modern projection technology and a sound system. For a long time, the cinema was operated by the company Reiss-Filmtheaterbetriebe, which withdrew from the market in 2000 with the opening of the first multiplex cinema in Kassel.

On April 1, 2001, Bali GmbH took over the Gloria and has since continued the tradition of showing sophisticated films for a culturally interested audience. Since 1995, Bali GmbH has also been running the Bali-Filmkunstkinos in Kassel's Kulturbahnhof. The Gloria impresses with its special ambience, which has delighted cinema fans for decades and has secured it a special position in Kassel's cultural life to this day. Due to its unique cinema architecture, it was featured in the Schüren-Verlag cinema wall calendar in 2007.

The unmistakable flair of the Gloria cinema also attracted the documenta, whose film programs were shown there in 2007 and 2012. In spring 2012, the Gloria was converted to digital projection, but still offers classic 35mm projection in four image formats, the option of showing silent films and 16mm projection.
