In 1997 the Kino Metropol was renovated to accommodate 288 seats and modern screening equipment. After the opening of the first Celje multiplex cinema called Planet Tuš, the Metropol was converted into an arthouse cinema. It was initially managed by Planet Tuš, then closed for some months. In July 2004 it was taken over by Filter Society (DZU Filter), the NGO that runs the nearby Stane Internet cafe. In September 2004 the entrance hall and the coffee house were renovated.
Nowadays
Today the Kino Metropol programme features auteur films as well as commercial movies. Beside it's regular programme it has also a special one for films made by young filmmakers who utilise new digital technology. It also hosts other events, including concerts, book presentations and exhibitions. In 2007 DZU Filter launched a small specialised competitive video film festival called Electric Rats Dream Video Dreams. In 2009, from July 2nd to July 5th, the third edition of the festival took place but without the international competition programme. The cinema is a member of the Artkino mreža (Art Cinema Network), which distributes selected high-quality films around Slovenia.
