“The branding company asked me what is my first impactful memory of cinema – I answered that the iconic moment as a kid in the big cinema was when Superman soared through the sky, his red cape billowing in the wind. This moment ignited my passion for cinema, the moment I knew cinema will always be in my veins “ Ben Kalifi
“We believe that the love for cinema is eternal, and there is no substitute for the feeling of disconnecting from the mobile phone and reality for two hours, surrendering to the big screen and surround sound, discovering emotional, funny, exciting movies from around the world, one that will create emotional moments that you will remember for years.
This is cinema for us. This is our passion”
