Art House Cinemas

Situated in a hip location in Vršovice, within reach of the popular Krymská Street, is Kino Pilotů (Pilots' Cinema), a magical family art house movie theater, which is operated by Czech movie producer Jan Macola and his wife.

The cinema was re-established after more than 20 years and is built on cinema from the 30s, which was preceded by a tradition of summer projections in a former gardening colony. Nowadays, Kino Pilotů offers two intimate, well-equipped screening rooms and a diverse range of movies, which is not limited by genre, geographical origin, focus or footage. Visitors can look forward to a wide, dramaturgically thorough program that includes festival movies alongside controversial dramas and documents, the most expected films of the year and world-known blockbusters. In a nutshell – the program meets the demands of lovers of alternative genres, Scandinavian style, French or German film production, and also families with children and those who only visit the cinema during public holidays (that means rarely). Moreover, the movie theater offers a movie cycle for seniors, which includes projections of both Czech and foreign pictures for a single, discounted price. Like every small, traditional cinema, Kino Pilotů hosts projections accompanied with discussions and debates with guests who are somehow connected to the projected picture. The Vršovice cinema features two screening rooms – Luke and Han – with the capacity of 84 and 70 seats and a total seating capacity of more than 150 seats. The intimate, friendly atmosphere of this cinema is only increased by a most pleasant bar, which serves quality coffee, strengthening and refreshing beverages and some other delicacies. There is also outdoor seating right in front of the establishment, a perfect place to spend warm evenings and soak up the vibrant atmosphere of Vršovice. What is more, Kino Pilotů is where you will find the Virtual Room, where you can explore all wonders and mysteries of virtual reality – all the more reason to visit this lovely family cinema set in one of the coolest Prague locations!
