The Citadel cinema in Victoria Gozo, once again opened its doors to the general public on the 12th of December. It is the first 4K SXRD experience for viewers in the Maltese Islands, with Sony Digital Cinema, The Ministry for Gozo said.

The reopening was made possible through a funding scheme from the Ministry for Justice, Culture and Local Government.

The Minister for Gozo Anton Refalo visited the cinema and congratulated the management on the achievement, adding that there is now another good reason to visit Gozo.

All films are distributed by KRS Releasing Ltd,. and an arrangement has been made for films to be released at the Citadel Cinema together with the cinemas across Malta.

The Citadel cinemas in Gozo have gone digital with the latest technology. White Light Pictures Ltd, in association with Sound Associates Ltd of the UK and Sony Digital Cinema, have supplied and installed two unparallelled cinema projection systems: Sony’s SXR-R510P Digital Cinema 4K Projectors.

Directors Angelo Cefai, Mrs M’Grace Attard and Mrs Louise Bajada with the help of Mr. Mario Loporto thanked Minister Refalo for his continuous support.

Mr Loporto said that this will be the first truly native 4K installation in the Maltese Islands and the result is even better than anything else available in cinema today.

“Colours are much more vibrant, detail is crisp and there is a feeling of depth, giving audiences the best possible viewing entertainment experience. Audiences will experience 7.1 surround sound besides the usual Gozitan hospitality,” he said.

Raymond A. Grech, Director White Light Pictures Ltd said, “we have left no stone unturned to bring together a unique cinematic experience for the enjoyment of Maltese and Gozitans alike. We have worked endlessly to make this dream a reality.”
