Skarpa Cinema in Warsaw, Movie theater on Kopernika Street in Warsaw, Poland.
Skarpa Cinema on Kopernika Street was a building with concrete and glass construction that featured large windows opening toward the surrounding urban area. The structure accommodated multiple daily screenings in its spaces.
Architect Zygmunt Stępiński designed this building in the mid-20th century as part of Warsaw's post-war reconstruction efforts. The cinema was one of many cultural venues built during this period to restore urban life in the city.
The cinema served as a gathering place for film enthusiasts and played a role in shaping Warsaw's film culture during its active years. Today, the site reflects how entertainment venues once anchored social life in the city's neighborhoods.
The building was located near other central city facilities and was easily accessible from Warsaw's main streets. Visitors could attend multiple screenings spread throughout the day to suit different schedules.
The original cinema was later transformed into Rezydencja Foksal, an art space showcasing contemporary exhibitions and artistic events. This conversion shows how older cultural venues found new purposes in shaping Warsaw's creative scene.
