Forum Kino

Forum Kino is a cinema in Bergen that opened in 1946 and was built as one of the largest movie theaters in the city at that time. The building displays early 20th-century architectural features and continues to show a range of films to audiences today.

Construction of the cinema began in 1936 but was interrupted during World War II when German occupation forces used the unfinished building as a warehouse. After the war ended, construction resumed and the building finally opened to the public in 1946.

The cinema serves as a gathering place where the Bergen community comes together to watch films from around the world. The venue reflects the tradition of public spaces where people connect and share cultural experiences.

The cinema has modern projection equipment and comfortable seating while keeping its historical character intact. Visitors should be aware that the building's older layout means some areas may be less accessible than modern spaces.

When it opened in 1946, the cinema had roughly 1,140 seats and was the largest movie theater in Bergen at that time. This original capacity shows how important cinema was to the city's entertainment and cultural life.
