If you are an admirer of European cinema, this movie theatre is for you. It tends to avoid streaming mainstream films and opts instead for art movies. You can always watch sensational novelty films and unusual independent movies as well as different festival films or cartoons during the holidays. Only real movie fans frequent this place. They come to discuss the latest cinema projects in a very nice cafe and restaurant located in the building. Dom Kino is the favourite movie theatre among St. Petersburg’s students. The films are often screened in the original language with Russian subtitles.
