    Kino Mat

    A former film and TV studio’s private screening room (there are only 40 seats), Kino Mat is now a hip arthouse cinema where film buffs sip espressos in the celluloid-decorated downstairs bar while discussing the use of visual metaphor in Citizen Kane. The programme includes the latest Czech films (with English subtitles) and the latest European films (with Czech ones).
