S HOW T IM E FOR 673 M OVIE LOVERS!
MCL CINEMA NOW IN TUNG CHUNG
M
CL Citygate Cinema (Tung Chung) opened on June 17 providing a total of 673 seats. Each of the four auditoriums is equipped with 4K laser projectors and Dolby 7.1 surround sound, while House 1 is also powered by Dolby Atmos. Multiplex Cinema Ltd (MCL) currently manages 14 prime cinema sites (74 screens) across Hong Kong; the new Tung Chung cinema is the group’s first in the Outlying Islands. Formed in 1982, with the aim to provide audiences with the best possible movie-going experience, MCL was the first cinema circuit in Hong Kong to exhibit digital and digital-3D feature films. MCL’s House FX Theatres now combine a 4K laser projection system, Dolby Atmos sound system and ButtKicker vibration seats for the ultimate in 3D cinematic entertainment. Movies shown at MCL cinemas range from major Hollywood blockbusters to small-budget local films. MCL also actively brings alternative entertainment programmes, live broadcasting events and a series of recorded live programmes ranging from opera and classical ballet to K-Pop. In recent years, in order to promote film appreciation and audience’s understanding of world cinema, MCL has acted as an exhibition platform and organiser for various film festivals, including Hall of Korean Film, Studio Ghilbi Film Festival and 12th Spanish Film Festival. Live musicals and animation shows, such as Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: The Musical and Takarazuka Revue Theatre Performance have established MCL as a local hub for Japanese pop and anime culture. Don’t miss Free Guy, Reminiscence and AINBO Spirit of the Amazon at MCL Citygate Cinema (Tung Chung) this August. For show times and tickets, head to www.mclcinema.com.
