The North Karelian Film Association will be responsible for the programming of the new cinema hall, which will include independent film productions.
A new cinema has opened in Joensuu. Kino Sihis is located in the cultural factory Siihtala in Nurmeksentie, run by the theatre Traktor.
The programme is organised by the North Karelia Film Association.
The programme focuses on genre films, documentaries, Nordic films, independent productions and art house films from around the world.
Kino Sihis also shows new movies that do not fit in the Tapio cinema center’s repertoire.
The new cinema was born in connection with the technology upgrade of Kulttuuritehdas Siihtala. The hall can accommodate 200 spectators.
The opening of Kino Sihis will be celebrated on March 18 and 19.
