Tuschinski Theatre
Tuschinski is located in the heart of Amsterdam’s
characteristic old centre. Trend-setting shopping streets
are just around the corner just as cultural tours de force
such as the
Royal Palace, “de Munt” Rembrandssquare,
Damsquare, City Hall “the Stopera”.
Amsterdam Central
Station is 15 minutes away by foot, and it is only a halfhour
journey
from there to Schiphol Airport. The Tram stops
almost infront off the door.
In 2002, the theatre is back to where Abraham Tuschinski
started in 1911. The French
Pathé, which furnished him
with the fi rst material and granted him the fi rst licence,
now owns the cinema that bears his name. The Tuschinski
theatre is still a household
word
of film. Approximately
600.000 people go to watch fi lm there each year, not
to
mention thousands who specially visit the theatre to
admire its splendour.
A function
the theatre has always fulfilled, that of a
première theatre, has been preserved.
This can certainly
be called a tradition when it comes to James Bond films.
The gala
première for the European continent is always
held at Tuschinski. However, many other
films have their
Dutch,
European or world première at Tuschinski. First
of all, its ambience
is ideally suited to such festivities.
In addition, these are always perfectly organized.
The
Tuschinski staff is more
than capable of making such
major events happen. So it
comes as no surprise that the
Tuschinski Theatre is used increasingly often for events,
congresses than fi lm screenings. These days, it is the
venue for many a conference,
party, fashion show and
concert.
Television programmes and photograph sessions
are
also shot at Tuschinski. All this
proves once again that
this cinema is multifunctional.
