Scottish Cinemas - Stirling
Stirling University Campus
The cinema is part
of the recent
re-development of The
MacRobert Arts Centre. Main theatre opened in the 1960s; the
new
cinema in October 2002.
The main theatre
has also had a
thorough re-furbishment and remains
fully equipped as a cinema so that popular films are still shown in its
much larger auditorium.
Both are equipped with the latest Dolby Digital Surround Sound and each
has a pair of Century projectors with Strong Super Lume-x lamp
housings, the new cinema running with 1600w lamps and the theatre
2kw. The projectors can be run at 18/20/22/24 & 25
fps.
The new cinema, seating 136 has an 8 x 3.5 metre screen (for proper
Cinemascope
format) with fixed top masking and variable side masking for smaller
formats, but no tabs.
The theatre seats 470 and is due to have a brand new screen installed
shortly. Its fly tower is visible in the exterior photograph above.
