About
In 1931, the building of the Select Cinema was built on Carol street (currently Strada Gării), according to the plans of the architect G. Alois from Galati, the property of the Scultety brothers in association with the merchant David Feimblat. In 1935, the cinema becomes entirely the business of the Scultety family, through the withdrawal of the partner, who sells his share for the sum of 800 lei. To put the cinema into operation, all the equipment was purchased from the company "S.A. Siewens & Shuckert", the representation of the company "Klang film" in Berlin.
The cinema, which had a capacity of 600 seats, was operated by the Scultety brothers even after the nationalization in 1948, through a contract concluded with the town hall. Affected by the earthquake of 1977, the cinema building, renamed "7 Noiembrie", was repaired, during which several changes were made which reduced the number of seats to 380. At the same time, the entrance was moved to the opposite side , on Isaccei street, which had become the central artery of the city. In 1990, the name "Select" was restored. This is where the Oblivion Club currently operates.
