Fram Kino

Fram Kino is a cinema located in Bodø, Norway. According to Norwegian Wikipedia, it was established on 29 December 1908 by Ole J. B. Jørgensen in the assembly hall Fram in Bodø, making it Norway's oldest cinema with continuous operation. The business has remained family-owned and is run by the Jørgensen family across several generations. The cinema began by showing short films accompanied by piano music. In 1911 the operation moved to Storgata 8. During the Second World War the Storgata 8 building was burned down by German forces, and the cinema was relocated to Folkets Hus and later to a barracks in Fredensborgveien with 430 seats, which was used until 1951. In 1989 the cinema was expanded to three auditoriums: a main hall with 322 seats and two smaller halls with 59 seats each. Up to 2013 there were no significant structural changes. Today Fram Kino operates as a local cinema offering film screenings, ticket sales, gift cards, age-limit information and mobile tickets. Its official website presents current and upcoming films, premieres, a programme section and membership benefits, positioning the cinema as a convenient local destination with digital ticketing and a mobile-friendly experience.
