Kinoteatr Sayany, Movie theater in Moscow, Russia

Kinoteatr Sayany is a two-hall cinema at Sayanskaya Street 9 in Moscow's Ivanovo district, built in 1978 and opened in 1981 to a design by architects Viktor Lebedev, A. S. Tsivyan and B. A. Shabunin. Its foyer has a 24-by-24-metre ceiling, lit from below, and an 8-metre-high stained-glass window set diagonally. The cinema has been closed since 2005.

The building was constructed during the Soviet era under architect Viktor Lebedev's direction, reflecting the architectural principles of that time. It stands as evidence of how important cinema was to Soviet society and entertainment culture.

The cinema's name comes from Sayanskaya Street in Ivanovskoye, where it was built in 1978 and opened in 1981. Its diagonal 8-metre-high stained-glass window separated the street space from the warm foyer, a device architects call Espace media. Closed since 2005, it is being rebuilt by ADG Group as a district centre combining film screenings with education and entertainment.

The cinema at Sayanskaya Street 9 has been closed since 2005, so there are no screenings or opening hours to plan around. Reconstruction under the ADG Group programme began in 2019, with the building kept rather than demolished and its interior reworked and facade renewed. The reopening was planned for 2020 as a district centre combining film screenings with educational and entertainment functions.

The foyer ceiling measured 24 by 24 metres, larger than the spans of the two auditoriums (21 and 15 metres). A backlit ceiling covered a glazed section, and an 8-metre-high stained-glass window split the diagonal, letting the street pass through the building. The cinema has been closed since 2005; reconstruction by ADG Group began in 2019, keeping the structure and reworking the interior and facade.
