The cinema holds 120 people and movie evenings are often sold out.
“Borrby Biograf” (Borrby Cinema) was most certainly in operation in 1919, but advertisements have been found from as early as 1917 and under the name “Borrby Biograf”. The building, ready in 1920, is one of the oldest preserved in Sweden that has only been used for cinema and where the operations are still ongoing.
During the 1950s the first modernization of the cinema was carried out. In 1955, heating was installed, the vestibule was rebuilt and a chocolate and cash register kiosk was added. Chairs were taken over from another cinema and two used German “Ernermann V” film projectors were also installed.
Digital transition
In 2010 a project group was formed with the aim of preparing and implementing the transition to the digital era. 35mm films became increasingly difficult to obtain and small cinemas in the countryside had to wait a very long time to get access to the copies.
After two years of intensive work, the group had succeeded in securing financing and in June 2012 work began. In September the new digital cinema equipment at a cost of one million Swedish crowns was inaugurated. Since then “Borrby Biograf” is able to show the very latest films almost at the same time as they premiere in big cities all over the world.
100th anniversary
In May 2017 the cinema celebrated its 100th anniversary with a day filled with a whole range of activities for both children and adults.
In 2022 the old silent film piano from 1898 also returned to the cinema. Almost 100 years after it was last used at the cinema it was put into use again for a Chaplin film from 1916.
