Zhovten Сinema on Postcard

"The small but irresistibly charming Zhovten cinema has a unique old spirit, cheap tickets, art-house movies, and, of course, velvet seats. Also, “Dolce vita” hall only accommodates three seat rows and feels like your own personal cinema. Zhovten balances blockbusters with festival screenings and low-budget movies in the original language. Get a bottle of wine in the shop next doors and immerse into yet another scandinavian drama. And, to recover from it, drop in the recently opened Gastro cafe right in the cinema." - MacPaw

Really nice and rather average or even small sized historical cinema, located in Podil area - lets call it old town of Kyiv. It was overhauled after fire which took place few years ago and now has both cozy and modern atmosphere in one. I've never been to blockbuster movie here, always documentary festivals, some special premieres, short films etc, therefore it has that special, magical association for me. Cool place with soul.

Zhovten cinema is an old Soviet era cinema famous for it's long history and is very popular now due to renovated halls. The renovation bring a contemporary hint into mostly Soviet planning without disrupting the whole atmosphere, as to me it's a perfect way to manage old buildings as this one. The ticket counter accepts cards and cash as well as the popcorn point. The cinema gas a cafe as well.

How can it happen that cupholders in the armrests are too small to accomodate a paper cup with soda that is being sold in the lobby? This is just ridiculous. Another annoying feature is personnel - they have no idea what service is (except the guy in the bar serving popcorn and drinks). Otherwise the cinema is very nice, clean and comfortable. Seats are good enough to seat couple hours. And the place has no parking, so you have to park elsewhere.

The cinema is good, they show a lot of films every day, the cheesy popcorn is great, the lobby has excellent renovations, friendly staff. There is one BUT - the halls have very narrow old uncomfortable seats.

Recently renovated Indy-ish cinema, featuring both mainstream and Indy titles. Favourite among locals. Some screenings are in English.

Usual cinema with usual sound and screen quality. Been there for the first time since renovations and well, it does look better, but the overall feel is quite the same. What I really disliked were seats. Too low for a tall person, too firm for a longer movie. And the distance between rows makes leg space really narrow. But tickets are a bit cheaper than other places, so here's a trade off.

My favourite movie theatre in the city. The best selection of screenings, nice staff. And it attracts the best crowd too, so you know you are in a good company even if you are alone. I am particularly grateful for the 0+ screenings, that are a great way for parents with younger children to enjoy a movie. Mainstream or festival, local or international, there is something for everyone and more.

A nice cinema that was clean and tickets weren't that expensive. Wide assortment of films but only in Ukrainian. They movie snacks such as popcorn and soft drinks. The cinema rooms are large, good quality projectors as well as clean. A great experience.
