The historic Roxburgh cinema's extraordinary run, potentially the longest continuous operation of any cinema worldwide, has been halted by a fire. Researchers had long been investigating the cinema's history, but gaps in the records made it difficult to confirm its Status as the oldest continuously operating cinema. Despite this, the cinema remained a beloved institution, with a loyal following and a rich history. The impact of the fire on the local community will be significant, with many mourning the loss of a cultural icon. Keywords like 'historic cinema', 'record-breaking run', and 'cultural institution' come to mind when remembering Roxburgh cinema.
