KINO VOLTA
A FILM by Martin Turk
In early 20th century Austro-Hungarian city of Trieste, a group of local fearless entrepreneurs decided to open Ireland’s first full time cinema, the Cinema Volta, led by an unknown english teacher from Dublin: James Joyce.
- Synopsis
In 1909, four fearless entrepreneurs and then-unknown Irish writer James Joyce met in Trieste, the main port of the Austro-Hungarian empire, where he convinced them to expand their cinema business and invest in the opening of Ireland’s first full time cinema. The Cinema Volta is not a historical documentary about the opening of a landmark cinema, but a light, spirited and modern personal search for the spirit of the people involved.
