CineMec celebrates! The CineMec cinema, with its unique location inside the noise barrier made of soil near Ede, has been chosen as the best Dutch cinema of the Year 2005.

The Dutch consumer program KASSA of the VARA TV, tested thirty cinemas with a team of film students. Some of the points which have been addressed in the test are the price of the ticket, the temperature, the image quality and sound (SA S26, SA S27, SL30, S30, S7 SSA200), and the seat space. There were also points to be received for the kindness of the employees and the state of the toilets. A unique service of CineMec is the personal talk before the movie starts and the delicious break snacks like fresh pie.

Company founder and owner, Gerben Kuipers, is very proud like the rest of the sixty employees. Kuipers: "We are the 'Tuschinski of the Valley'."
