Kino Tapiola

[1] Kino Tapiola is part of the Europa Cinemas network, along with seven other Finnish movie theatres.

The activity of Kino Tapiola, which had suffered from financial troubles, stopped already in August 2008 when paint tore off from the auditorium ceiling just before the start of the Espoo Ciné festival.

[1][4] The asbestos-based acoustics of the ceiling had to be dismantled altogether, and the presentation equipment and seats were moved away.

The Espoo district court placed Kino Tapiola Oy into bankruptcy on 12 December 2008.

[5] Kino Tapiola was renovated and opened its doors to the public on 13 August 2010 after a two-year break.
