The world’s oldest cinema is still in operation!
The Eden Theatre in La Ciotat, France, is indeed recognized by Guinness World Records as the oldest purpose-built cinema in operation. It was opened on June 21, 1889, by the Lumière brothers, who were pioneers in the field of cinematography. The Eden Theatre played a significant role in the early days of cinema, as it was one of the first places where the Lumière brothers screened their short films to the public.
The theater is still in operation today, making it a remarkable testament to the longevity and enduring appeal of cinema. It continues to screen a variety of films, including classic movies, independent films, and documentaries. The Eden Theatre also hosts film festivals and other cultural events throughout the year, attracting both locals and tourists. It is a fascinating landmark that holds great historical value in the world of cinema.

The end of film era
Digital cinema refers to the use of digital technology in the production, distribution, and exhibition of movies.

However, with digital cinema, movies are recorded and stored in digital formats, allowing for easier editing, manipulation, and distribution.

This transition has been happening gradually over the years since 2007, with many theaters now exclusively using digital projection
