Kino Luna, Movie theater in Śródmieście Południowe, Warsaw, Poland.
Kino Luna is a two-screen cinema at Marszałkowska 28, built into the Latawiec housing estate designed by architect Eleonora Sekrecka, with interiors by Bohdan Jezierski. Its two halls sit below street level, reached from the lobby by stairs, and the exits open onto Stefanii Sempołowskiej street. The halls originally differed in colour: one grey-blue, the other orange.
Kino Luna opened on 22 July 1962, Poland's National Day of Rebirth, in a residential building of the Latawiec estate designed by architect Eleonora Sekrecka. The weekly Stolica reported that the first screening was the British film Love and Anger. The cinema later hosted festivals such as Sputnik over Poland and Millennium Docs Against Gravity, and in 2014 it won the Warszawiaki poll's Cinema of the Year title.
The name Luna refers to the Soviet space programme, and the cinema has hosted the Sputnik nad Polską festival of Russian films and Millennium Docs Against Gravity. In 2014 it was voted Kino roku in the Warszawiaki poll and received a laurel as Warsaw's most positive cinema from Gazeta Wyborcza and Clear Channel.
The two halls sit below street level, reached from the lobby by stairs, and the exits open onto Stefanii Sempołowskiej Street. Since March 2025 the cinema has been run by the Mazowiecki Instytut Kultury, so check its current programme before setting out.
The cinema's name refers to the Soviet Luna space programme, and a neon sign once stood at the entrance. The two auditoriums were originally decorated differently, one in grey-blue and the other in orange. The building's corner turret faces Aleja Armii Ludowej.
