Adria cinema, Entertainment venue in Teofilów-Wielkopolska, Poland.
Adria Cinema is a cinema building at 200 Bolesława Limanowskiego Street in the Teofilów-Wielkopolska housing estate, purpose-built for film screenings and opened in 1975. Its main auditorium held 570 seats, a large panoramic screen and 70 mm projectors, with a projection booth and an adjacent reader's stand for Polish dialogue lists. The building also contained a cloakroom with separate entrances and a café.
The venue opened on April 30, 1975, under the name Iwanowo, reflecting a partnership between Łódź and the Russian city of Ivanovo. It operated as a cinema until 2001, serving the community for more than 25 years.
During its operational period from 1975 to 2001, the cinema presented both Polish and international films, maintaining 570 seats for regular screenings.
The auditorium had 570 seats with wider row spacing than other cinemas, 70 mm projectors and a large panoramic screen. A two-entrance cloakroom separated arrivals from departing viewers, and a lectern booth beside the projection room was used to read Polish dialogue lists for films shown in their original language.
In the late 1980s, the cinema set up a television with a VCR in the lobby beside the cloakroom, with rows of chairs in front of it. Films were played from VHS cassettes carrying Polish voice-over tracks recorded in Poland. The building later housed the Dekompresja music club from 2006 until its closure in 2014.
