3D Digital Films - at a Cinema near you

Following on from the recent success of the newly built Jerboa Cinema in Fallingbostel, four SSVC Forces cinemas in BFG have received a digital makeover.

The Kaleidoscope Cinema in Paderborn, the Royal Theatre in Gutersloh, the Globe in Herford and the Ratz Cinema in Hohne have joined the digital revolution, ensuring an even greater quality of service for Personnel stationed there.

These cinemas are now equipped with the latest digital technology, which provides audiences with superior 2D picture quality and a truly immersive 3D experience.

The new 3D facilities were shown off at a special launch event, where audiences at these four cinemas and not forgetting the Jerboa Cinema in Fallingbostel got to see the hugely anticipated ‘Avengers Assemble'. Expected to be one of the biggest box office hits of the year, SSVC Cinemas were incredibly excited to be able to bring this film to military cinemas in fantastic 3D on the same day as its worldwide release.

The Globe Cinemas in Munster and JHQ Rheindahlen also showed ‘Avengers Assemble' in 2D.

The digitisation of these cinemas is largely down to Hollywood saying goodbye to Celluloid film, which has been used for 120 years in cinemas around the world. Janice Lorimer, Head of SSVC Forces Cinemas, said; “This essential transition is viewed as a great opportunity as it will allow Forces Cinemas to keep pace with the very best in the cinema industry, the inclusion of 3D will further enhance the experience and will lead to an amazing picture quality for cinemagoers.”

SSVC Forces Cinemas has provided hundreds of thousands of hours of entertainment for British Forces and their families around the world for the past fifty years. SSVC has funded one third of the cost to upgrade Forces Cinemas in Fallingbostel, RNAS Culdrose, Northern Ireland, the Falkland Islands and Cyprus. Two cinemas in the UK will be the next to be converted.
