The Cine Windsor was the result of this partnership, a place that not only offered film screenings, but also a bar, a restaurant and a pocket theatre, thus becoming a cultural meeting point in the Catalan capital.

[1] It was in 1958 that an innovative technology was introduced at the Cine Windsor: the Cinerama projection system made its appearance, featuring a curved screen that encompassed the viewer's entire field of vision.

Matas was responsible for bringing this technology to Spain, renovating the Teatro Nuevo and the Cine Albéniz in Madrid to adapt them to the new technical specifications of the Cinerama.

In 1962, Cinesa began its expansion, starting by setting up a travelling cinema called Itinerama, which toured the country to show the new projection system to the main cities in Spain.

Throughout its history Cinesa was owned by major shareholders, including William Forman, an American businessman who held the operating licence for the Cinerama.

[9] In 2014 Cinesa continued its expansion by acquiring several cinemas from the ÁBACO CINEBOX company, which allowed them to expand their presence in different locations in Spain, such as Guipúzcoa, Seville and Castellón.
