The Dovzhenko Cinema (the Cinema, for short) is the main and oldest cinema of the city of Zaporizhia.

The Cinema was opened on 24 April 1964. The first film shown in the Cinema was The Serf Actress (directed by Roman Tikhomirov).

The good work of the Cinema's staff was many times acknowledged with certificates of Ukraine's Ministry of Culture, with the silver medal of the USSR Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy (now the All-Russian Exhibition Centre) and with certificates of Zaporizhia Region's Directorate of Culture and Zaporizhia City's Directorate of Culture.

The project of constructing the Cinema was undertaken in the early 1960s by Kharkov's Gorstroyproyekt, an urban design institute, headed by the architect Georgy Vegman. Vegman tried hard and managed to erect a classical cinema building that had ideal acoustics and optics as well as a ventilation system that used a fountain for cooling. Having a perfect air-conditioning system, the Cinema was one of Europe's best cinemas. The city's post-war generation was virtually raised on the films shown in the Dovzhenko Cinema.

It was as late as in the early 1990s that cosmetic repairs were done to the Cinema and to the surrounding area that belonged to it (the fountain, the cooling system, the ventilation system).

In 1999, 3D cinema equipment was acquired and installed in the Cinema. Watching films wearing glasses was a new thing for the inhabitants of Zaporizhia, causing a significant increase in attendance, which allowed the Cinema's management and staff to keep the Cinema afloat and to prepare it for full technological modernization.

The Cinema's auditorium seats 450 people including 28 people in the VIP area, on luxurious sofas.

In 2007, the Cinema opened an additional auditorium for 3D shows.

In the summer of 2008, another additional auditorium was opened. In the auditorium, major repairs have been done to the chairs and the room itself. The Cinema is equipped with the city's largest screen, 18.5 metres by 8.5 metres (61 feet by 28 feet) in size.

Every year the Cinema hosts various international festivals such as festivals for French cinema, for Russian cinema, for Scandinavian cinema, for Asian cinema and others. Besides the large screen for showing the latest shows, the Dovzhenko Cinema features a small, cosy auditorium, equipped with the latest equipment, where art-house films are shown. This auditorium is open on Saturday and Sunday. In the Cinema's lobby, a cafe is situated.
