Göta

Göta is a cinema located at Götaplatsen 9 in Gothenburg, Sweden. It originally opened on 13 October 1936 with 700 seats and was decorated with an artificial-stone statue of the goddess Filmia by Anders Olson, along with intarsia works in the entrance. Its premiere film was Flottan dansar. The cinema was damaged by fire on 31 December 1941 and, after a major renovation, reopened on 17 March 1942 with a sound system prepared for stereophonic film; the foyer was designed by Gunnar Jacobson. In the late 1970s Göta became Gothenburg's first multiplex. Part of the foyer was converted into the Lill-Göta auditorium on 29 December 1977 (64 seats, reduced to 38 from 1990), and Mitt-Göta opened on 28 September 1979 with 114 seats, leaving the original main auditorium with 308 seats. In 1984 the cinema was taken over by SF Bio. Göta closed in May 1997, and from 1998 to 2013 the premises were used by the home-electronics chain Siba. SF Bio reopened Göta in its old premises on 4 September 2015 as Gothenburg's new "art cinema." The reopened venue has four auditoriums with a total of 249 seats: the largest with 108 seats, the second with 86, the third with 34, and the fourth with 21 seats, making it SF Bio's second-smallest Swedish auditorium. All auditoriums support 4K projection. The curtain in the largest auditorium comes from the Palladium cinema, which closed in 2008, and the curtain in the second auditorium is from the Victoria cinema, which closed in 2002. The reopening premieres were Every Thing Will Be Fine, En labyrint av lögner, Mandarinodlaren, and Jag är Ingrid.
