Cinema Europa
is Zagreb’s cult cinema. It was built in 1924/25
by the wealthy Müller family from Zagreb and
designed by architect Sreæko Florschütz with the
aim of constructing the most beautiful,
important and modern cinema in the region.
Cinema Europa was officially opened on 8 April
1925 with Fritz Lang’s Die Niebelungen and the
local film Dalmatia, Land of Sun.
The City of Zagreb acquired it in October 2007
after a successful action by Zagreb Film
Festival and Croatian Film Association 'Daj mi
kino' (Give Me the Cinema). The Croatian film
and cultural public and all film aficionados
appealed to the city government to acquire this
theatre and allocate it for use to cinematic
purposes.
Early in 2008, Cinema Europa management was
trusted to Zagreb Film Festival, with the goal
of making this cinema the regional centre of
film and film art.
In 2013 the Ministry of Culture reached a
decision to make Cinema Europa a protected
cultural heritage site and Republic of Croatia
national treasure. The cinema’s interior and its
lavish stucco decorations and post-Art Nouveau
classicist details are considered one of the
city’s most beautiful spaces.
The cinema premises include:
- Large hall with 500 seats
- Müller hall with 41 seats
- Cinema shop – film bookstore and gift shop
- Bar – a place for the audience to gather and
mingle before and after the screenings
- Zagreb Film Festival office
Cinema Europa’s programs are co-funded by the
Zagreb City Office for Education, Culture and
Sport, Croatian Audiovisual Centre and Europa
Cinemas network.
