cinema in Szczecin, one of the oldest cinemas in the world operating continuously in the same place. In 2005, a certificate from the Guinness Book of Records was issued confirming that Pionier is the oldest cinema, but since 2008, this title has been awarded to Korsør Biograf Teater in the Danish city of Korsør, operating since 1908. Currently, the longest operating cinema is considered to be opened in 1902 (the first projection took place in 1905) L'Idéal Cinéma - Jacques Tati in the French town of Aniche. Officially, the cinema began operating on September 26, 1909 with the screening of short films, although films had been shown here before, in 1907. The founder of the cinema was Otto Blauert, a year later it was taken over by Albert Pietzke. Initially, it functioned as "Helios", later, until 1945, it was called "Welt-Theater". From December 1945 to December 1950, it operated as "Odra" (later the name of the cinema was changed to "Pionier"). The first film shown after the war was Ivan the Terrible, dir. Sergei Eisenstein.
