Spegeln

Spegeln is a Swedish cinema brand name. The currently active operation is Biograf Spegeln in Malmö, which presents itself through its official website as a movie theatre showing a mix of first-run films, repertory classics, event screenings and live or recorded cultural broadcasts. Its programme includes titles such as 'Resan till Piemonte', 'Sense and Sensibility', 'Sagan om ringen-trilogin', 'Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back To The Beginning', 'Arkipelag', 'Digger', 'Fjord', 'La La Land', 'CatVideoFest 2026', 'Pressure', 'Heart of the Beast', 'Tony', 'Autofiktion', 'The Odyssey', 'Bad Apples', 'Spa Weekend' and 'Resident Evil', alongside special events such as '20 år med Met på bio: Ett jubileumsfirande' and 'Sing- & Party Along'. The venue also operates Bistro Spegeln, a food and drink offering attached to the cinema, with a published menu. Tickets are sold directly through the cinema's website. The name Spegeln has also been used by a former cinema in Gothenburg, located at Kungsportsavenyen 14. That cinema opened on 26 April 1940 and closed on 11 December 1989. The premises were later occupied by a Burger King restaurant. This Gothenburg Spegeln is documented in Swedish cinema history sources, including Göran Bjelkendal's book 'Göteborgs biografer: 100 år på bio' and related online references. Because the same brand name has been used by more than one cinema in Sweden, the dossier distinguishes between the historical Gothenburg venue and the active Malmö cinema. The active Malmö operation is the primary commercial entity associated with the official website biografspegeln.se. The Gothenburg Spegeln is treated as a historical cinema brand that is no longer active.

The name Spegeln has been used by cinemas in Sweden in at least two cities. The historical Gothenburg cinema Spegeln was located at Kungsportsavenyen 14. It opened on 26 April 1940 and operated for nearly five decades before closing on 11 December 1989. After its closure, the premises were occupied by a Burger King restaurant. The Gothenburg venue is documented in Swedish cinema history, including Göran Bjelkendal's 2012 book 'Göteborgs biografer: 100 år på bio' and a related online article. The active Spegeln brand is associated with Biograf Spegeln in Malmö, which maintains an official website at biografspegeln.se. The website presents a current programme of films and events, including first-run titles, repertory screenings, family and music events, and cultural broadcasts such as '20 år med Met på bio: Ett jubileumsfirande'. The cinema also runs Bistro Spegeln, offering food and drink to visitors, with a menu published online. Ticket sales are handled directly through the website. No founding date, ownership structure or corporate parent for the Malmö operation is provided in the available evidence. The dossier therefore treats the Malmö cinema as the active commercial entity and the Gothenburg Spegeln as a defunct historical cinema brand.
