The rich history of the Polonia cinema in Trzebnica (near Wroclaw, Poland) dates back to 1931. Since then, it has been upgraded many times and moved to different buildings. Currently, the cinema is a part of the Trzebnica Centre of Sports and Culture, whose role is to promote social inclusion of the youngest and the oldest residents of Trzebnica and the surrounding area. Now, thanks to the efforts of A+V team and other project participants, the facility has modern AV equipment in the cinema hall and the adjacent conference and banquet room.
The main challenge we faced in this project was to create a multifunctional cinema room that would fulfil a number of requirements of various stakeholders and potential customers. In addition to having the function of a professional 3D digital cinema, the hall was also to be used for conferences, theatre performances, concerts, as well as meetings of residents with the city authorities. With so many functions to consider, we had to use well-considered technical solutions.
We installed a total of three projection screens in the hall. One is a rear projection screen with a 5.5 metre base, mostly used for conferences. The second is a motorised drop-down screen with a base of 10 metres with perforation. Looking for wise savings, we decided to utilise the 10-metre automatic drop-down projection screen already existing in the room as a third screen (for horizontal projections). Today panoramic horizontal projection is used as a scenery for theatre performances. Image is managed and distributed by means of the Crestron DigitalMedia matrix.
Trzebnica is a municipality focused on development and innovative projects. The modern events hall increases the attractiveness of the city in the eyes of residents and visitors alike. The AV systems installed there, standard of which matches that used in large 3D cinemas, can be used for staging theatre performances and organising concerts, which expands the range of cultural offering available to the local residents. Designing such multifunctional spaces is a challenge that we always approach with full professionalism and great pleasure.
Our city’s huge demand for a modern cinema and events hall is best manifested by the unflagging interest that the hall enjoys at present. The project not only benefits the city as such, but also its residents, who are extremely happy that they have a new, comfortable place for cultural meetings so close to their homes – says Marek Długozima, Mayor of the Trzebnica Municipality.
