Only two cinemas operate in Vitebsk: “Cinema House” and “Mir”. The first is located at: Vitebsk, st. Lenin, d. 40, and the second can be found on Chekhov street, d. 3. Both cinemas of Vitebsk look pretty ugly. Previously, the city had seven such entertainment venues.
Where is the city of Vitebsk
This provincial city is located near the north-eastern outskirts of the Republic of Belarus, not far from the Smolensk region of Russia. It is the administrative capital of the Vitebsk region of the Republic of Belarus and the second oldest city in the country after Polotsk. According to legend, was founded by Princess Olga.
Cinema "Mir" in Vitebsk
Cinema "Mir" is located in the northern part of Vitebsk, in the Oktyabrsky district of the city. This is a building of the Soviet era, it was built back in 1961 and has not changed much since then.
There is a ticket office on the right side of the entrance, and on the left is a small, movie-like stall. Here you can buy a cocktail, popcorn, cotton candy and other sweets. Posters advertising the upcoming movie premieres are made in the provincial style of the Soviet era, and those over 30 can cause a feeling of nostalgia for childhood or adolescence. The exterior of the building will also remind of the Soviet past.
However, there are elements of modernity: a payment terminal and an electronic display. You can book your session tickets online. Plastic windows also remind of the modern era. Plumbing in the cinema building is updated and of good quality. But the rest of the interior and doors are very reminiscent of those that were in past times. The building has a lot of greenery.
The hall is quite simple, but the chairs are soft and new. There are few visitors to Mir. You can watch movies in 3D.
