A Brief History
Arthur Adams had one love in life: film. His family despaired that he didn't pay them enough attention, but Arthur didn't care: Who needs a life when you can watch thousands of movies about life itself? And better than that: Worlds where life is different, where anything can happen, where fantasy roams free? Of course, this was 1941, and Arthur was only eight. But his love of film stayed with him forever, even until his untimely death aged just sixty in 1993. And by then he was a millionaire. He no longer just watched movies: he made them and showed them. For, aged just 20, he opened his first Alhambra Cinema in 1953, in the city of Bel Cansas.
The first Alhambra Cinema was nothing fancy: opening inside a dilapidated restaurant, Arthur Adams thought he could keep it going for maybe only a couple of years. But what he didn't expect was that people shared his love of film. And those people were a massive group. When he showed the film War-rus, which was a local director's piece of work, who had kindly asked Arthur if he would show it, it was a massive hit. That director went on to become Oscar Enamel, Nouvel Ecosse's finest director. And Arthur Adams made so much that he opened his second, and then third, and on and on until now, where world-wide there are over 8000 Alhambra Cinemas. Arthur's son Mantis now continues the business, building where his family left off.

In 2013 Alhambra Cinema's moved out of its old, tiny headquarters into a grand, modern building designed by the world-leading architecture firm, Crump, Shackel and Bond. Many punters view this as an attempt to majorly revamp themselves for the world market:

Ratings in Alhambra Cinemas
Alhambra Cinemas follow the standard U, PG, 12A, 15 and 18 ratings system, alongside the American system. However, if your country follows a specific ratings system that you would like our cinema to implement in your country, just add it to the Local Ratings system part of the application, and we will make sure that, when Alhambra comes to your country, your ratings are implemented.
Alhambra & the Environment
Ecotrax have given this storefront 4 out of 5 leaves for its commitment to the Environment.
'4-Leaves: Great regards for the environment. Almost Carbon Neutral. Very low levels of mass resource usage and waste development during manufacturing process/cycle.'
Alhambra Cinemas is committed to its pledge to lower its carbon footprint. This is why every cinema is provided with multi-purpose bins, with specific slots for plastics, cans, general waste and paper. It is also our commitment that every cinema is fully self-sufficient when it comes to its power needs. Solar panels, made by the Green firm Epower of Nouvel Ecosse, are shipped to every new cinema and installed on the roof, providing both a sleek and elegant look and all the power the cinema could ever possibly need, with little cost to the environment. Thus, we are safe in the knowledge that no carbon has been released whilst showing your film.
And all of the films, when delivered, are delivered in a careful and precise order to minimise fuel consumption and thus lower the overall carbon emitted. This means that, rather than sending two flights out to neighbouring countries, we send the one, who will then fly on from the first to the second. And if there is a domestic flight en route to said country? Great! We will arrange it so that the film travels via said flight's cargo hold. By doing this, we believe that we will reduce our carbon emissions greatly, whilst still delivering you the best in film.
Still not convinced? Well, it has been an undertaking recently that, for every ten miles that our films have to travel to reach your nation, we will plant one new tree in the Great Keitel Reforestation Project. And that reminds us. See that popcorn box. Its made from sustainable wood, from the Project over in Wiggum Island.
