Cholpon cinema has reopened in Cholpon-Ata after a major renovation, bringing back a building that had been declared structurally unsafe in 2022.

Originally built in 1982, the cinema had never undergone a major overhaul. Its seating capacity has now grown from 200 to 310, and five screening halls have been fitted out with equipment capable of showing films in 4K.

The renovation also completely replaced the heating system. The cinema will operate throughout the year.

The Russian-Kyrgyz Development Fund had previously allocated $1.5 million to restore cinemas in regions across Kyrgyzstan.
