As the reopening of cinemas is getting closer every day in Germany, Kristin Klemann, art historian and member of the Passage Kinos’ staff in Leipzig (member of Europa Cinemas since 2002) discusses here the reopening strategy of her cinema through the initiatives that have marked the past year and the ones that will accompany the reopening. This interview is also the opportunity to take a look at the successful events that occurred during the period between lockdowns and draw a few lessons from them.

ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR 2020 - The Dúplex Cinema in Ferrol was founded in 1996 by the Álvarez Rodríguez family in a working-class neighbourhood, two minutes from the city centre. Back then, the city had a population of around 83,000, considerably more than the 68,000 remaining in 2019, reflecting a steady population decline resulting from the dismantling of the naval sector since the 1990s.
