According to Wikipedia, the cinema has since been demolished.

The former cinema is more to the south than on this map, on Brookdale Place, next to the canal.

According to https://database.theatrestrust.org.uk/resources/theatres/show/2046 : “The theatre closed on 5th January 2015 and demolition began in 2017. There are plans to replace the venue with a community hub.”

This cinema is not at all where the map shows is to be. It is much more central than that, pretty much walkable from the city centre.

The bingo hall has been closed ibn 2009, the building has been used as a furniture shop after that. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/vale-leven-bingo-hall-reopens-2599317

The theatre seems to be closed (according to googling).

AndreasP commented about Teatro Aquitania on Aug 20, 2017 at 12:49 pm

The Filmoteca has its own building since 2011, and hence the Cinema Aquitania was closed from 2011 to 2013. It opened again as live theatre “Aquitània Teatre” in 2013.
