Just months after bringing Imax technology to the Grand Duchy for the first time, the Kinepolis group has announced plans to also bring ScreenX technology to the country.
ScreenX films are not just projected onto the central screen, but also onto two additional screens covering the side walls of the cinema. The result is 270 degrees of immersion for the audience. Two projectors on either side of the main screen allow the images to be extended, though only during certain parts of the film that have been specially designed for this purpose.

At Belval, not Kirchberg
“Work on this innovative cinema began on 2 September and is due to be completed by the end of the month,” a company press release said. The first public screening is planned for 2 October.
The latest cinematic attraction will not be located in Kirchberg, where the group has a ten-screen complex, but rather in Belval (adjoining Esch-sur-Alzette), where Kinepolis has a seven-screen complex inside the Belval Plaza shopping centre.

Kinepolis – a Belgian company which is today the world’s third-largest cinema operator – has not yet stated which film will be shown using the technology on 2 October: “This should be announced in the course of next week.”
Coincidentally (or maybe not) the much anticipated Joker: Madness for Two is released on 2 October. The film is directed by Todd Philipps and stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga.
