Light House Cinema, Movie theater in Smithfield, Dublin, Ireland.
Light House Cinema is a movie theater in Smithfield with four screens and approximately 614 seats spread across differently sized auditoriums. Each screen serves different purposes, from smaller rooms for special screenings to larger halls for standard releases.
The cinema first operated from 1988 to 1996 on Middle Abbey Street before relocating to Smithfield in 2008. This move allowed for expansion into a larger facility with more screens to serve the audience.
The Light House hosts quiz nights, book clubs, cult film screenings and the One Two One Two Music Festival alongside its films. Its programme mixes art-house titles with Hollywood blockbusters and regular classic screenings, a combination that drew locals back after Element Pictures reopened it in 2012.
The cinema sits in Smithfield, Dublin, and is wheelchair accessible. It has four screens, with Screen 1 seating 277 and the smaller Screen 4 seating 68, so check which auditorium your film is in. It is one of the venues of the Dublin International Film Festival.
The cinema's interior walls are decorated with murals of famous film characters including Zero from The Grand Budapest Hotel. These artistic touches make waiting in the lobby an interesting visual experience.
