Cork’s arthouse Kino cinema facing its final reel

CONSIDERING the amount of sticking plaster holding its 188 seats together it is, perhaps, no great surprise that Cork’s Kino cinema is to close.

The reason: recessionary times and a slew of creditors knocking on the door.

In appropriately cinematic fashion, the Kino will shut its doors for good on November 29, 13 years to the day that it opened those same doors as the only arthouse cinema outside of Dublin.
