Bio Mors
[DK] Den 2. november i 1924 åbnede Sadelmager Kjeldsen Bio Mors. Tiderne var hårde, men biografbranchen var i rivende udvikling.
Kjeldsen byggede derfor en biograf hvor der ikke var sparet på noget, marmor og ædelt træ, de bedste teaterstole, et moderne varmesystem og dristig arkitektur med sandstenssøjler.
Indretningen er idag stadig med marmor og ædelt træ, og når man træder ind gennem de 2 store sandstens søjler, ind i selve foyeren, føler man at man rejser tilbage i tiden, til en biograf som den var i gamle dage.
Alt andet er efterhånden blevet renoveret gennem tiderne så der idag også er de nyeste biografstole og den nyeste teknologi indenfor fremvisning af film.
Siden 1924 har Bio Mors været den førende, og siden starten af 1980'erne den eneste biograf på Mors, der var engange hele 3 biografer.
Fra 1965 til 1991 gik det tilbage for Bio Mors, og den skulle til at sælges. I stedet skulle der i biografens lokaler være diskotek eller lavprisvarehus.
Heldigvis så en gruppe private muligheden og etablerede en redning af Bio Mors, således blev den til en biograf ejet og drevet af en forening.
Idag bliver driften af biografen udført af ca. 80 aktive medlemmer af foreningen (frivillige), der har vagt ca. 1 gang om måneden, hvor de står for salg af billetter og slik/popcorn/sodavand samt fremvisning af filmene.
Grundet digitaliseringen af begge sale er det idag sjældent at filmene der vises ikke er Danmarkspremierer. Med digitalisering fulgte også muligheden for at vise film i 3D som er en stor succes.
Bio Mors er Jyllands ældste biograf.
FTF: Til den heldige første finder af denne cache har Bio Mors sponsoreret et gavekort til 1 fribillet m. mellem menu, som kan bruges i biografen. Gavekortet ligger i cachebeholderen.
PS: Cachen er ikke inde i biografen, men i gyden...
[ENG] Bio Mors - The cinema of Mors
On the 2nd november in 1924 saddler Kjeldsen opened Bio Mors. Is was hard times, but the cinema business was in rapid development.
Therefore Kjeldsen build a cinema where no expenses were saved, marble and nobel wood, the best cinemaseats, modern heating system and daring architecture with sandstone pillars.
The lay-out is today still marble and noble wood, and when you go through the 2 large sandstone pillars, into the the lobby itself, you will get the feeling of traveling back in time, to a cinema as it was i the old days.
Everything else have eventually been overhauled through time so today there is still the newest cinemaseats and the newest technology in the showing of movies.
Since 1924 Bio Mors has been the leading, and since the early 1980s the only cinema on Mors, once there were the whole of 3 cinemas there.
From 1965 to 1991 it went back for Bio Mors, and it was about to be sold. Instead the building of the cinema would have been made into a disco or a discount store.
Luckily a group of private persons established a rescue of Bio Mors, and so it became a cinema owned and runned by an association.
Today the operations of the cinema is done by the hands of about 80 active members of the association (volunteers), with roughly 1 watch per month, where they sell tickets, candy/popcorn/soda and showing of the films.
By the digitization of both floors followed also the opportunity to show movies in 3D, which is a big hit.
Bio Mors is the oldest cinema in Jutland.
FTF: To the lucky first finder of this cache, Bio Mors has sponsored a gift certificate for 1 free pass and 1 average menu for use in the cinema. The gift certificate is placed in the cache container.
PS: The cache is not inside the cinema, but in the alley...
