Kino 64 U Hradeb, Indie movie theater in Malá Strana, Prague, Czech Republic.
Kino 64 U Hradeb is a movie theater in Mala Strana located in a building on Mostecka Street near Malostranske Square. The hall seats around 540 people and underwent modernization in 2024 to include contemporary technology and spaces designed for various types of events.
The cinema opened in 1964 with the screening of 'Starci na chmelu' and became an important venue for film premieres in the city. After closing due to flooding in 2002, the venue was later reopened and adapted for new purposes.
The name recalls house No. 64 by the old city walls on Mostecká Street, along the Royal Route. The cinema opened on 25 September 1964 with Starci na chmelu, and in February 1965 Vinnetou had its Czech premiere here. During the November 1989 revolution the banned 1969 film Případ pro začínajícího kata was symbolically screened again.
The cinema entrance is in the basement of house No. 273/21 on Mostecká Street, right by Malostranské Square on the Royal Route. The ground floor reopened in 2024 for cultural and educational events, while work on the main hall continues, so not all spaces may be open.
The cinema was built in the Brussels style with a 540-seat hall, a milk bar and a restaurant, and before 1989 it was possibly the most modern cinema in Prague. The new building by Miroslav Hudec replaced two houses from the second half of the 19th century.
