“Silent Cinema” Will Open in the Center of Prague

On Thursday, 20 July, an open-air summer cinema will open on Mariánské náměstí in the heart of Prague.

The twist? It’s a ‘silent cinema.’

A ‘silent cinema’ is a similar concept to a ‘silent disco’ in that the audio for the event is not pumped through speakers but through headphones to each person who attends.

This means that the screen will not generate lots of noise into the night, and is also a fun twist for those who wish to attend.

The cinema will work till the beginning of September. The first movie is going to be screened at 21:00.

Entrance is free, but you can not book a seat in advance.

The schedule of screenings is as follows:

– 20, 21 and 22 July

– 17, 18 and 19 August

– 31 August, 1 and 2 September.

The audience will be shown mainly Czech and European films from different years. Their full list and descriptions can be found here.

The events are organized by the City Library of Prague as part of the summer cultural season.
