There are many short films produced by individual filmmakers, and about five feature films in Bahrain's history. There are a number of theaters in Bahrain showing a mix of Indian, American and Arabic movies. Bahrain also has a cinema club established in 1980, and the Bahraini Film Production Company, established in 2006 to support the Bahraini film industry. HistoryThe first attempt to create a movie theater in Bahrain was in 1922, on the initiative of Bahraini businessman Mahmood Al Saati. He imported a projector and set up a makeshift cinema at a cottage on the north coast of Manama.[5] The first official cinema was established by Abdulla Al Zayed and associates in Manama, in 1937.[5] The cinema had no air-conditioning or heating system so the cinema was moved to an open-roofed building during the winter season with one of the walls being used as a screen.[5] In 1939, the founder of Saudi Arabia, King Abdul Aziz Al Saud, visited the cinema while on a diplomatic visit with the then-Hakim Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifa.[5] During the 1930s and 1940s, films were in black and white with the majority of them being predominately Egyptian as well as some American films. Westerns and the Tarzan films were reported to have been very popular in the country.[5] Initially, the introduction of cinemas drew criticism from elderly citizens who stated that it "would destroy traditional values".[6] During the pan-Arab era of the 20th century, Egyptian films enjoyed immense popularity in the country.[5] Establishment of cinemasIn the early 1940s, the Bahrain Petroleum Company opened a cinema in Awali for its staff. The cinema moved to a different building in Awali in 1958, but finally closed in 1991.[14] In the 1950s and 1960s, eight new cinemas opened in Bahrain, including the Pearl Cinema, Al Hamra Cinema, Al Nasr Cinema and Awal Cinema, all of which were established in Manama.[14] The first cinema to open in Muharraq was Al Jazira Cinema in 1955 and it is still in use today.[5][14] The first modern-style cinema to open in Bahrain was the Delmon Cinema at the Gosi Complex in 1996, but it has since closed.[5][14] The trend for modern-style cinemas was continued by the Bahrain Cinema Company, which opened cinema complexes at Seef Mall in 1998 and in Saar in 2000 respectively.[5][14] An independent cinema, Dana Cinema, was opened at the Dana Mall in Manama, in 2002.[14] A 20-screen cinema complex was constructed in the Bahrain City Centre, the largest such cineplex in the Middle East.[7][8] In July 2015, the country's first IMAX theatre was opened in Seef Mall Muharraq.[9] Films shot in Bahrain
