Centralny Dom Kino, Cinema museum in Presnensky District, Russia.

Central House of Cinema is a cinema and creative club at 13 Vasilyevskaya Street, in a building constructed in 1968 to a design by Yevgeny Stamo next to the older 1906 structure. Its five halls seat over 1,800 people, led by the 1,100-seat Great Hall, whose foyer holds a large stained-glass panel by Fernand Léger donated by his widow Nadia Khodasevich.

The idea came from Sergei Eisenstein in the early 1930s. The Moscow House of Cinema opened on 4 May 1934 in a two-storey 1906 mansion on Vasilyevskaya Street, with a 700-seat hall. After relocations, it returned in 1968 to a new building by Yevgeny Stamo next to the old one.

The House of Cinema is run by the Union of Cinematographers of the Russian Federation and has hosted festivals such as «Святая Анна», «Радонеж», «Сталкер» and «Будем жить». Its foyer holds a large stained-glass panel made by Fernand Léger in 1951, given by his widow Nadia Khodasevich. A children's club shows older children's films and premieres.

The venue stands at the corner of Vasilyevskaya and 2nd Brestskaya streets in the Presnensky District. Since 2016 tickets for screenings, press conferences and master classes have been sold to the general public rather than only to Union members. Five halls seat over 1,800 people in total, the Great Hall alone 1,100, so check which hall your event uses.

The foyer of the Great Hall holds a large stained-glass panel made by Fernand Léger in 1951, given to the Cinematographers' Union by his widow Nadia Khodasevich during the design of the new building. It became the venue's emblem. The Great Hall seats 1,100; the White Hall 550, the Small Hall 60, the video room 35 and the conference room 120.
