A video mapping show is scheduled to take place this Friday, July 25, at Cinema Marconi, a former cinema hall in Bucharest which has been\u00a0lying\u00a0in ruins for years. The building is located at the intersection of Calea Grivi\u021bei and Atelierului Street, in the city’s historical Buze\u0219ti-Berzei area.<\/p>\n
The event, organized by the non-profit Arcen, will include the presentation of the project to turn the former cinema into a cultural venue.<\/p>\n
The cinema was purchased by a private owner, who, in partnership with Arcen, will work to transform it into a venue featuring cinema halls, concert and conference halls, an exhibition space, a hub for emerging artists, an open-air terrace for film screenings, a caf\u00e9, and a restaurant, the non-profit explained.<\/p>\n
The first phase of securing the building is scheduled to begin this summer, with the completion of the entire project expected in 2029-2030.<\/p>\n
“After 15 years of experience in saving and reactivating Bucharest’s heritage, I know that Cinema Marconi can become a living place again. However, it won’t be easy, and it will be a long road. This time, we will approach things differently, as the challenges are significant. And we will not do it with the money of the state or a private individual exclusively, but by mobilizing an entire community,” Arcen president and founder Edmond Niculu\u0219c\u0103 said, quoted by Mediafax<\/a>.<\/p>\n The cinema, currently listed as a historical monument, opened in 1930. Its initial name, Marconi, was changed to Cinema Dacia in the 1960s.<\/p>\n\n (Photo:\u00a0LCVA<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Dreamstime.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n simona@romania-insider.com<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A video mapping show is scheduled to take place this Friday, July 25, at Cinema Marconi, a former cinema hall in Bucharest which has been\u00a0lying\u00a0in ruins for years.
