The Zvezdniy Cinema (the Cinema, for short) was opened in 1974 in South East Borough of Moscow. Being well-situated on Vernadskogo Avenue and in the immediate vicinity of the metro station of the same name, the Cinema used to be continuously present in the top-five of Moscow's most popular cinemas. On weekends, the total number of spectators used to reach 10,000.
In the 1980s, the Cinema regularly hosted festivals of young film-makers organised together with the Mosfilm film studio. The famous director Karen Shakhnazarov showed his first films at the Cinema.
The early 1990s, when the situation deteriorated significantly, were hard times for film distribution in general and for cinemas in particular; the recovery was slow and painful. In 1998, the Cinema was equipped with the DOLBY SURROUND SYSTEM and the small auditorium was renovated, but serious improvements were made only after the Cinema joined the Karo Film Cinema Network in 2004.
In accordance to a cinema development plan, the network organised modernisation works, which transformed the Cinema into a super-modern multiplex with 4 auditoriums.
This allowed the network to significantly extend the repertoire and, consequently, to save spectators' time and make their choice of films easier.
At the Cinema, the auditoriums bear names of the Zodiac signs: Gemini, Virgo, Scorpio, and Taurus (this is quite natural, because the name of the Cinema, Zvezdniy, is Russian for "starry").
Each auditorium is painted in its own set of colours that is harmoniously combined with comfortable chairs equipped with cup and popcorn holders. All the auditoriums are equipped with the latest Italian, highly reflective CINEMECCANICA screens.
Of course, a modern cinema offers much more than just auditoriums. Nowadays, spectators go to cinema not only to watch an interesting film, but also to pleasantly spend their free time with friends and family. Being a multiplex, the Cinema has everything necessary for that.
The structural and design solutions of the interior space are a distinctive feature of the Cinema.
The spacious and cosy lobby, which is divided into three different height levels, uses shades of orange and lilac. There is a 4-meter (13-feet) model of a spacecraft made in the style of the early Star Wars films. The spacecraft hovers over spectators, flashing its external lights. Combined with vivid information light-boxes and film posters embedded in columns, the lights create a special holiday atmosphere.
The lobby of the Cinema also features a bar that offers various cold drinks, snacks, sweets and, of course, Pepsi and popcorn. In the lobby, there is also the Heineken cafe where spectators may always take a snack before the show. For gourmets, the Cinema offers a restaurant called Vapiano.
Children and adults alike will be delighted to test their hand at various gaming machines situated in the lobby.
