The Volta Cinema Kino Volta
In 1909, in Trieste, the main port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, four bold entrepreneurs met with a young English teacher, James Joyce. He proposed that they invest in the first permanent cinema in Ireland: Kino Volta. Martin Turk’s film is not a historical documentary about the birth of cinema but a nostalgic and playful evocation of the spirit of those who were part of the story.
