The Cholpon cinema has reopened in Cholpon-Ata after a major reconstruction of the building, which dates back to 1982 and had never undergone a full renovation.

The cinema was declared unsafe in 2022 but has now been restored. Its seating capacity has increased from 200 to 310, and the venue has been equipped with five screening halls and technology for showing films in 4K.

The heating system was completely replaced, allowing the cinema to operate throughout the year. The reconstruction formed part of a wider effort supported by the Kyrgyz Republic Finance Recovery Fund, which had allocated $1.5 million to restore cinemas in regional areas of the country.
