A la sombra de los multiplex. El espectáculo cinematográfico en Vizcaya durante la década de los noventa

Abstract

The crisis of cinematographic exhibition in Biskaia has culminated during the early nineteen-nineties. As from that moment, there was a change of trends, and the multiplex cinemas were the determinant factor that has allowed cinematographic shows to recover the remnants of their former brilliance. The new cinematographic complexes, although they have contributed to bring people back to the cinema, have provoked the effect that these multiplex cinemas progressively abandon urban centres to integrate into a wider offer of leisure and consumption as that represented by malls and leisure centres. The consequence has been that the popular classes have withdrawn from going to the cinema. Now it is the young people and the middle and high classes within the population that go to the cinema.
