The Gigant Cinema was established in 1957 and operated with pauses until the 1990s. The name “Gigant” (eng. Giant) was not without reason: in the 1960s it was the largest cinema in Poland, which could accommodate up to 5200 viewers.

The Gigant Cinema was also famous for organizing night film marathons. Cinema lovers could watch three feature films in a row. The screenings started at night time at 10 p.m. and ended at dawn time.
