Kinoteatr Zvezda, Movie theater in Tver, Russia.

Kinoteatr Zvezda is a movie theater in Tver housed in a symmetrical building from the 1930s with decorative facade details typical of Soviet public architecture. It has several screening rooms fitted with modern projection equipment and seating for several hundred viewers.

The cinema opened in 1937 in a building designed by architect Viktor Kalmykov on the site of the small house of Peter I, where the emperor stayed while passing through Tver. Its late-constructivist design, with a binocular-shaped plan, was later echoed in Kalmykov's Rodina cinema in Moscow and in similar projects in Smolensk and Simferopol.

Since June 2010 the halls have carried names from film and stage: Chaplin (Blue Hall), Fellini (Red Hall with a VIP box), Lumière (Violet Hall) and Monroe (Green Hall), plus the Shalyapin premium hall. The building stands on the site of Peter the Great's house, where the tsar stayed while passing through Tver.

The theater sits in central Tver and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport from most parts of the city. Arriving a little early gives you time to look at the facade before the screening starts.

The building stands on the site of Peter the Great's house, where the tsar stayed while passing through Tver. Its twin-tower entrance and hexagonal side columns echo the architect's later Rodina cinema in Moscow, and similar designs were built in Smolensk and Simferopol.
