If you could visit a library, borrow a book and then cross the hall to immediately see the film, what book would you choose? How about Midnight Cowboy, novel by James Leo Herlihy - film directed by John Schlesinger.

There was a reason for the question …

Originally called Kronstad Kino, this is an excellent example of Norwegian functionalism in Bergen.

The architect was Ole Landmark. Clearly the building wears the mantle ’landmark’ rather well:) Work began in 1936 with the original idea to share the site between a cinema and public library, how smart an idea is that! However the plan was interrupted by world events and it was eventually completed in 1946 (library having disappeared from the drawing board).

It operated until 2005 when it was sadly closed, the world had moved on and multiplexes supposedly reflected the public’s favoured cinema experience.

After several changes of hands Forum Scene AS took control of the site in 2019. Today the interior has been restored and it operates as a concert hall.
