History
Korsør Biograf Teater began operations on 30 January 1907. After about a year and a half, it moved to its current location, where film screenings have been held continuously since 7 August 1908. This long unbroken run in the same building led to its recognition by Guinness World Records on 25 July 2008 as the oldest cinema continuously operating in the same building. Prior to this, Guinness had listed Kino Pionier 1909 in Szczecin, Poland, as the oldest cinema, but the exact opening date of that cinema was unknown, though it was before late autumn 1907. In June 2021, the Eden-Théâtre in La Ciotat, France, was recognized as the world's oldest operating cinema; it had shown films as early as 1895/99 but closed in 1985 and reopened in 2013. Korsør Biograf Teater remains active, showing a variety of films and hosting community programs.
