Saga.
Saga, Sweden’s oldest cinema still in operation today, is a modern cinema equipped with digital sound. It was built in 1906, and since then has operated as a cinema.
Saga has 173 seats, and is one of Kalmar’s largest auditoriums. It is also equipped with hearing loops and wheelchair accessibility. A kiosk with popcorn, candy and soft drinks is located in the lobby.
Saga Cinema in Kalmar was inaugurated as Biografteatern Göta in February 1906, in a farmhouse at Södra Landsvägen 12. The premises had enough room for 90 movie-goers sitting on wooden chairs. When it changed owners in 1911 the cinema’s name was also changed -to Biorama and the auditorium was expanded to hold 360 seats.
In 1939 a neon sign was to be erected over the pavement, but the name Biorama was too long. There was only room for four letters, and after careful consideration the name Saga was chosen, a name that at the time was growing among the country’s cinemas. The cinema was also renovated at the time, with new murals, wider seating and new lighting. More recent renovations were made in 1983 and 1997, when, among other things, the old murals and old lighting were repaired.
The cinema is located in a charming cultural landmark wooden villa from the 1800’s which is now owned by Länsförsäkringar Kalmar and rented out to Kalmarbiografer HB.
