Øst for Paradis was founded November 28, 1978[1] by John Rosendorff, Flemming W. Larsen, and Uffe Sloth Andersen[2] as they were of the opinion that Aarhus lacked a cinema that screened niche movies and movies from other countries than the United States and the closest neighbouring European countries.[3]
The name of the cinema, Øst for Paradis, derives from the Danish title of the 1955 film East of Eden. East of Eden was also the first movie screened upon opening the cinema in 1978, and the name is furthermore claimed to represent the cinema's goal to screen movies from Eastern Europe and Third World countries that other cinemas to not usually screen.[2]
