09.01.2022 Canberra's Cinema has been provisionally registered on the ACT Heritage Register for its contribution to the ACT's cultural life. The building was designed by Enrico Taglietti to house a cinema underground accommodating 500 seats, shops, restaurant, art gallery and offices, all on a small site with height restrictions. The official opening of the Cinema Center was held on October 5th 1965, with the Canberra premiere of Dr Zhivago playing to a full house. The American spelling of ‘center’ was adopted to avoid imitation of the numerous other ‘centres’ recently opened in Canberra at the time, such as the Canberra Theatre Centre, Griffin Centre and Civic Centre.
