Supporters plan human chain to defend disputed Palads cinema

Not everyone is ready to give up on preserving Copenhagen’s Palads cinema. The Bevar Palads support association plans to form a human chain around the building.

The cinema faces a major overhaul after years of debate, repeated changes to the project and a record number of objections. The proposed plans would renovate the building and expand it.

The campaign reflects continuing opposition to the redevelopment. Supporters say they still want to protect Palads rather than accept the project’s latest direction.
