The story behind Edisons is inspired by the visionary Thomas Edison, the renowned American inventor whose impact on the world of entertainment is unparalleled. Edison's Theatre, established in 1894, was an early pioneer in film projection, while Edison's Black Maria became the world's first film studio. His inventive spirit led to the creation of the Kinetoscope and the Kinetograph, key advancements that transformed visual storytelling and shaped modern cinema into the immersive experience it is today.
In homage to these historical roots and the cinema's legacy, we proudly bear the name Edisons. Just as the old cinema and projector room have projected countless films over the years, we embrace the spirit of cinematic innovation and celebrate it in every event hosted within our venue.
