Kultura

In the second half of the 20th century, cinemas were a staple in nearly every Czech town or village, often serving as the heart of community life. However, following the Velvet Revolution of 1989, many of these cinemas fell into disrepair or were repurposed for other uses. A unique Czech initiative, called Rekino, aims to revive these defunct cinemas, even if only for a single day. I discussed the project with Marie Barešová, the founder of Rekino, and her collaborator Craig Binding.
