Cinema entertainment in Prague

  1. A

    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).

    The Světozor is the only central Prague cinema for European art movies, cult documentaries and mainstream and nonmainstream hits, with an emphasis on classic cinema and art-house films screened in their original language – everything from Battleship Potemkin and Casablanca to Annie Hall and Motorcycle Diaries.
