LN: no open-air cinema on Strelecky Ostrov in 2009

The annual outdoor cinema on Prague’s Střelecký Ostrov will not be opening this year, Monday’s edition of Lidové noviny reported. The cinema has been displaced by ongoing work to regenerate the island, the newspaper wrote. A petition to save the open-air cinema in the centre of Prague has not succeeded and, for the first time in 12 years, the island will not be transformed into a summer-long cinema and concert venue. According to Lidové noviny, it is not certain that an open-air cinema will return to Střelecký Ostrov in the coming years.
