About us

The photographer and cinematographer Peter Hürlimann founded Cinerent in 1978. Until 1989, the company mainly operated as a rental company for cinema equipment before it became the organiser of “Kino am See” in Zurich, known today as Allianz Cinema; an event that has also been taking place in Bern, Lausanne and Basel since 1991.

With surfaces up to 393.35 m², Cinerent has the world’s biggest, hydraulically raised, mobile screens for open-air cinemas. Cinerent single-handedly developed those in 1993. Cinerent rents screens and cinema equipment in the entire world.
