Kino Světozor

Kino Světozor, Art cinema in Nové Město district, Prague, Czech Republic

Kino Světozor occupies the corner of Václavské náměstí and Vodičkova Street in Palác České banky, built 1914–1918 to Osvald Polívka's design with a facade by Josef Sakař. The hall opened on 8 December 1918 as Elektra, was soon renamed Světozor, and has 26 rows of seats after the 1968 Kinoautomat installation. It has been an art-house premiere cinema since 2004.

The cinema opened on 8 December 1918 in the Palác České banky, a 1914–1918 building by Osvald Polívka with a facade by Josef Sakař. Founded by the Kinema company of former Prague mayor Vladimír Srb, it was first named Elektra, soon changed to Světozor. After serving as a cabaret, it returned to film in 1957 and was rebuilt as a panoramic cinema in 1958; the Kinoautomat was installed in 1968.

The cinema's name comes from Světozor, a 19th-century Prague magazine, and its hall has hosted the interactive Kinoautomat, first shown at Expo 67 in Montreal, since 1968. Today it is one of four Prague art cinemas united under the Osa 9 brand, linked by tram line 9.

The venue is located on Vodičkova Street and opens its box office about 30 minutes before the first screening. Reservations can be made by phone during weekday business hours.

The cinema opened on 8 December 1918 as Elektra and was renamed Světozor soon after. Its hall was built long and steeply raked, without a balcony, with 33 rows of seats and boxes along the sides and at the rear, holding about 700 people.
