Cinema Europa is Zagreb’s cult cinema. It was built in 1924/25 by the wealthy Müller family from Zagreb and designed by architect Srećko Florschütz with the aim of constructing the most beautiful, important and modern cinema in the region. Cinema Europa was officially opened on 8 April 1925 with Fritz Lang’s Die Niebelungen and the local film Dalmatia, Land of Sun. The City of Zagreb acquired it in October 2007 after a successful action by Zagreb Film Festival and Croatian Film Association 'Daj mi kino' (Give Me the Cinema). The Croatian film and cultural public and all film aficionados appealed to the city government to acquire this theatre and allocate it for use to cinematic purposes. Early in 2008, Cinema Europa management was trusted to Zagreb Film Festival, with the goal of making this cinema the regional centre of film and film art. In 2013 the Ministry of Culture reached a decision to make Cinema Europa a protected cultural heritage site and Republic of Croatia national treasure. The cinema’s interior and its lavish stucco decorations and post-Art Nouveau classicist details are considered one of the city’s most beautiful spaces. The cinema premises include: - Large hall with 500 seats - Müller hall with 41 seats - Cinema shop – film bookstore and gift shop - Bar – a place for the audience to gather and mingle before and after the screenings - Zagreb Film Festival office Cinema Europa’s programs are co-funded by the Zagreb City Office for Education, Culture and Sport, Croatian Audiovisual Centre and Europa Cinemas network. Program Since in January 2008 Zagreb Film Festival Art Association took over Cinema Europa’s management, in terms of program this cinema became the leading regional film institution screening independent contemporary film and the home to almost all of Zagreb’s festivals and events. Every year it regularly screens around 80 independent contemporary films from all four corners of the world and of all genres – feature, short narrative, animated, documentary and experimental. Almost 20 Croatian film festivals and events found a home in Varšavska 3. Annually there are around 30 film premieres of all genres, with a special focus on children and quality titles for pre-school and schoolchildren and lately more and more for high schoolers as well. In addition to film programs, the theatres and lobbies serve as a venue for countless lectures, roundtables, discussions, book and film project promotions, performances, exhibitions, music performances and similar events. We are proud that Cinema Europa under Zagreb Film Festival’s management has become the centre of contemporary world cinema in Zagreb and Croatia, an important cultural venue educating the public and introducing recent film works and world cultures. This makes us a role model of sorts, but first of all an important partner to Croatian cinemas across the country, as well as cinemas from the region with the same goals. Children’s program Our film programs devote special attention to designing and producing programs for children. These activities were in 2014 encompassed in the program Bib for Kids Cinema, aiming to offer new interactive film content in Zagreb for our youngest audience. Independent quality film distribution Wishing to present as vast a selection of films from all over the world as possible, we have launched our own film distribution and so far presented almost 50 valuable film works. Our partner cinemas present the same films to audiences in other Croatian cities. Partnerships In association with different cultural institutions we are maintaining the existing and creating new partnerships with the joint aim of creating harmonised programs and a richer cultural offer catering to most diverse audiences (Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra, Subversive Festival, Third Age University, Museum of Contemporary Art, publishers etc.). Thanks to these partnerships, Cinema Europa hosted lectures and speeches by numerous leading artists and thinkers of today, including Gilbert & George, Amos Oz, Oliver Stone, Jorge Bucay, Slavoj Žižek, Tariq Ali, maestro Ivo Lipanović, David Lynch (via video connection), Samir Amin, Terry Eagleton, David Harvey, Rastko Močnik, Dušan Makavejev, Antonio Negri, Zygmunt Bauman, Michael Hardt etc. Support Cinema Europa’s work and programs are supported by City of Zagreb, Croatian Audiovisual Centre and Europa Cinemas. Digitalization and acquisition of new technical equipment was financed by Ministry of Culture, European Union’s MEDIA sub-programme and City of Zagreb. Networking Cinema Europa is a long-standing member of the largest European network of cinemas - Europa Cinemas, and the global network of independent cinemas CICAE. Since 2014 the cinema is also a member of the Croatian Independent Cinemas Network. Protected cultural heritage site In March 2013, the Ministry of Culture reached a Decision that makes Cinema Europa a protected cultural heritage site of the Republic of Croatia. The Decision says: “Due to highlighted cultural, historical and architectural qualities, as one of the oldest urban cinema-theatres with a continuity of original cinematographic and stage performance use, the building is a unique and important factor of the cultural and historical identity and urban tissue of the city centre and has a crucial impact on the city’s entire image. Given the cultural-historical, constructional-typological, architectural and urban quality, and a high level of preservation of prominent and valuable architectural and design characteristics in the interior, with lavish stucco decorations and sculptures, especially in the kept use, the building of Cinema Europa in Zagreb truly possesses all the qualities of a protected cultural heritage site.” Cinema building’s history Cinema Europa’s building was constructed in 1924/25 and designed by architect Srećko Florschütz (studio S. Florschütz and Hintermeier brothers), as an essential part to a larger urban ensemble: the commercial-residential four-storey street building in Masarykova 10, the city passage with a commercial-residential four-storey gallery building in Miškecov prolaz 1-3, and the opposing cinema-theatre building and the commercial-residential four-storey building in Varšavska 3-5. The cinema-theatre building was constructed as the representative Cinema Balkan-Palace by brothers Alfred and Leo Müller, heirs to the largest brickyard in the city, Müller in Kustošija, and the founders of the prominent Fruit Industry Miler’s Hill. Leo Müller (Zagreb, 1894 – Jasenovac, 1941), a film devotee, tried his hand as an actor in first Croatian films, after constructing the Helios cinema in 1916/17 in Frankopanska 10/1 (today’s Gavella Drama Theatre), in 1924/25 builds an elite cinema in Varšavska, at the location of the famous restaurant Lobe-Krizmanić, with a pub and a dancing room, stood since the late 19th century. Its basement segments (freezer and cooling chambers) were preserved in the northern part of the cinema-theatre, renovated in 1919 for the first Balkan cinema building by the Müller brothers and designed by architect Ferdo Šego. The first Croatian cinema theatre was constructed on an iron structure, 56 metres in length and 15.5 metres in width. The building façade is simple and without decorations. The lateral parts show prominent load-bearing construction elements. It is divided in two parts: the first, northern, entrance part houses ticket offices and two waiting rooms, one on the ground floor and other upstairs, and a basement, and the other, southern part contains an auditorium and a stage. The lavish ground floor entrance hall ‘for first and second seats’ used to include a bar and wicker chairs, and in the middle of the waiting room there was a fountain designed by sculptor Sunko, made of artificial stone. Decorative sculptures are also the work of sculptors Sunko and Pitzger. The entrance hall features a double stairwell decorated with sculptures by sculptor Vihra, a Prague academy alumnus, to the waiting room for the stalls and the balcony. The auditorium is 40 metres long, 14 metres wide and 11.5 metres high. The projection slate on the stage has a wide golden frame decorated with acanthus leaves ornament by sculptor Pitzger, and on the left and right hand side there are red marble pillars with lavishly adorned Composite capital heads with two fauns by Vihra bearing the load of the rest of the structure above the stage. Below the stage there was a setting for a 16-member orchestra. The walls are decorated with lavish stucco ornaments, and behind the representative wall candlesticks there are air shaft grills, as well as on the ceiling decorated with three wreaths. The building has central heating and air conditioning installed through shafts in the walls and ceiling leading from the engine room in the basement and special temperature regulation for each room. There were 1100 seats in the theatre (stalls, mezzanine, first and second seat) and all the seats were numbered. The local papers said that this hall was unique in the Balkans, whose auditorium was acoustically adapted to philharmonic and other concerts and other cultural lectures. The theatre’s interior was preserved in its original state, except that the existing seats were replaced by new ones. Today there are 500 seats in the auditorium and a 15 x2 metre stage with a film screen. In the early 1950s, when the Poljoopskrba-Astra office building was built, designed by architect Božidar Tušek, in Varšavska 3-5, a partial reconstruction and additions to the building entrance were done, which defined today’s entrance vestibule to the building. The cinema was called Balkan-Palace and Balkan, and in the early 1990s it was renamed to Europa.

Kino Europa kultno je zagrebačko kino. Sagradila ga je 1924./25. godine bogata zagrebačka obitelj Müller prema nacrtu arhitekta Srećka Florshütza sa željom da se napravi najljepše, najvažnije i najmodernije kino na ovim prostorima. Kino Europa svečano je otvoreno 8. travnja 1925. projekcijom filma 'Nibelunzi' Fritza Langa te domaćeg filma 'Dalmacija, zemlja sunca'. Grad Zagreb otkupio ga je u listopadu 2007. nakon uspješne akcije Zagreb Film Festivala i Hrvatskog Filmskog Saveza "Daj mi kino". Hrvatska filmska i kulturna javnost te svi zaljubljenici u film apelirali su na gradske vlasti da otkupe ovu dvoranu i ostave je korištenju u filmske svrhe. Početkom 2008. upravljanje kinom Europa povjereno je Zagreb Film Festivalu s namjerom da kino postane regionalni centar filma i filmske umjetnosti. 2013. godine Ministarstvo kulture donijelo je Rješenje prema kojem je kino Europa zaštićeno kulturno dobro te nacionalno blago Republike Hrvatske. Interijer kina se sa svojim bogatim štukaturskim dekoracijama i postsecesijskim klasicističkim detaljima smatra jednim od naljepših gradskih prostora. U prostorima kina nalaze se: - Velika dvorana s 500 sjedećih mjesta - Dvorana Müller s 41 sjedećim mjestom - Kino Shop – filmska suvenirnica i knjižara - Kino bar – mjesto druženja publike prije i poslije programa - Uredski prostori Zagreb Film Festivala Programi kina Europa sufinancirani su sredstvima Gradskog ureda za obrazovanje, kulturu i šport Grada Zagreba, HAVC-a te mreže Europa cinemas. Program Otkako je upravljanje kinom Europa u siječnju 2008. preuzela Umjetnička organizacija Zagreb Film Festival, programski je ovo kino postalo vodeća regionalna prikazivačka institucija nezavisnog suvremenog filma i dom gotovo svih zagrebačkih festivala i manifestacija. U redovnom programu tijekom godine prikaže se šezdesetak nezavisnih suvremenih filmova iz svih krajeva svijeta te svih kategorija – cjelovečernjih, kratkih igranih, animiranih, dokumentarnih, eksperimentalnih, filmova namijenjenih dječjem uzrastu i ostalih. Svoj dom je u Varšavskoj 3 našlo gotovo 20 hrvatskih filmskih festivala i manifestacija, godišnje se održi i tridesetak filmskih premijera svih žanrova, a posebnu pažnju posvećujemo djeci i kvalitetnim filmovima namjenjenim predškolskom i osnovnoškolskom uzrastu. Uz filmske programe, u dvoranama i predvorjima kina održavaju se i brojna predavanja, okrugli stolovi, diskusije, promocije knjiga i filmskih projekata, performanse, izložbe, glazbena i slična događanja. Ponosni smo što je kino Europa pod našim upravljanjem postalo središte suvremene nezavisne svjetske kinematografije u Zagrebu i Hrvatskoj koja publiku educira i upoznaje s recentnim filmskim ostvarenjima i kulturama cijelog svijeta. Samim time svojevrstan smo uzor, ali prije svega važan partner hrvatskim kinima širom Hrvatske, te kinima iz regije s istim programskim ciljevima. Dječji program U sklopu sveukupnih filmskih programa, posebnu pažnju posvećujemo osmišljavanju i produkciji programa za djecu. Ove su aktivnosti 2014. godine objedinjene u program Kino Bibijada, kojim nastojimo ponuditi novi interaktivni filmski sadržaj u Zagrebu za najmlađu publiku. Distribucija kvalitetnih nezavisnih filmova Vodeći se željom za predstavljanjem što većeg izbora filmova iz svih krajeva svijeta, pokrenuli smo vlastitu filmsku distribuciju kojom smo dosad našim gledateljima predstavili gotovo pedeset vrijednih filmskih ostvarenja. Iste filmove putem naših partnerskih kina donosimo i publici u ostalim gradovima Hrvatske. Susret filmske umjetnosti s drugim umjetnostima U suradnji s različitim kulturnim institucijama održavamo postojeća i stvaramo nova partnerstva sa zajedničkim ciljem stvaranja jedinstvenih programa i bogatije kulturne ponude za što raznolikiju publiku (Zagrebačka filharmonija, Subversive Festival, Sveučilište za treću životnu dob, Muzej suvremene umjetnosti, izdavačke kuće i dr.). Zahvaljujući partnerstvima u kinu Europa su gostovali i predavali brojni vodeći umjetnici i mislioci današnjeg doba među kojima su Gilbert&George, Amos Oz, Erwan Bouroullec, Oliver Stone, Jorge Bucay, Slavoj Žižek, Tariq Ali, maestro Ivo Lipanović, David Lynch (video veza), Samir Amin, Terry Eagelton, David Harvey, Fred Furedi, Boris Buden, Rastko Močnik, Dušan Makavejev, Antonio Negri, Zygmunt Bauman, Michael Hardt i drugi. Potpora Programe kina Europa podržavaju Grad Zagreb, Hrvatski audiovizualni centar i Europa cinemas. Digitalizaciju i nabavu osuvremenjene tehničke opreme sufinanciralo je Ministarstvo kulture, Potprogram MEDIA Europske unije i Grad Zagreb. Umrežavanje Naš trud prepoznale su europske institucije, pa je tako kino Europa punopravani član mreže europskih kina Europa cinemas te mreže svjetskih nezavisnih kina CICAE. Od 2014. godine članovi smo novoosnovane Hrvatske mreže neovisnih kinoprikazivača u čijem radu aktivno sudjelujemo. Zaštićeno kulturno dobro U ožujku 2013. Ministarstvo kulture donijelo je Rješenje prema kojem je kino Europa zaštićeno kulturno dobro Republike Hrvatske. Iz Rješenja izdvajamo: "Zbog naglašenih kulturno-povijesnih i graditeljskih obilježja, kao jedno od najstarijih gradskih kino-kazališta s neprekinutim kontinuitetom izvorne kinematografske i scensko-izvedbene namjene, predmetna je zgrada jedinstveni i bitan tvorbeni čimbenik kulturno-povijesnog identiteta i urbanog tkiva središnjega gradskog prostora te ima presudan utjecaj na sliku grada u cijelosti.S obzirom na kulturno-povijesnu, graditeljsko-tipološku, arhitektonsku i urbanističku kvalitetu te visok stupanj očuvanosti istaknutih i vrijednih graditeljskih i oblikovnih obilježja unutarnjeg uređenja s bogatim štukaturama i kiparskim radovima, napose u održanoj namjeni, zgrada kina „Europa“ u Zagrebu ima svojstva kulturnoga dobra." Povijest zgrade kina Zgrada kina „Europa“ sagrađena je 1924./'25. g. prema osnovi arhitekta Srećka Florshutza, atelijer S. Florshutz i braća Hintermeier, kao integralni dio većeg urbanog ansambla – ulične trgovačko-stambene četverokatnice u Masarykovoj 10, gradskog pasaža s trgovačko-stambenom galerijskom četverokatnicom u Miškecovom prolazu 1-3 i nasuprot njoj postiranom zgradom kino-kazališta te trgovačko-stambene četverokatnice u Varšavskoj 3-5. Zgradu kino-kazališta podigli su kao reprezentativno „Kino Balkan-Palace“ braća Alfred i Leo Müller, nasljednici najveće gradske ciglane „Müller“ u Kustošiji i utemeljitelji uglednog „Industrijalnog voćarstva Milerov brijeg“. Filmofil Leo Müller (Zagreb, 1894. – Jasenovac 1941.), okušavši se i kao glumac u prvim hrvatskim filmovima, nakon gradnje kina „Helios“ 1916./'17. g. u Frankopanskoj 10/1 (danas Dramsko kazalište Gavella), 1924./'25. podiže elitnu kinodvoranu u Varšavskoj, na mjestu gdje je od druge polovine 19. stoljeća stajala poznata restauracija Lobe-Krizmanić s pivnicom i plesnom dvoranom, čiji su podrumski dijelovi (ledvenica – rashladne komore) očuvani u podrumskome sjevernom dijelu zgrade kino-kazališta, a koja je bila adaptirana 1919. godine za prvu zgradu kina „Balkan“ braće Müller, prema osnovi arhitekta Ferde Šege. Prva hrvatska namjenska kinodvorana izgrađena na željeznoj konstrukciji dugačka je 56 m, široka 15 i pol metara. Pročelja građevine su jednostavna i bez ukrasa, na bočnim stranama s istaknutim potpornjima nosive konstrukcije. Podijeljena je na dva dijela; u prvome, sjevernom, ulaznom dijelu nalaze se blagajne i dvije čekaonice, jedna u prizemlju, druga na katu te podrum, a u drugome, južnom dijelu, nalazi se gledalište s pozornicom. U luksuznoj čekaonici u prizemlju „za prva i ostala mjesta“ bio je smješten buffet i pletene stolice, a nasred čekaonice nalazio se vodoskok kipara Sunka, izrađen od umjetnog kamena. Kiparski ukrasi djelo su kipara Sunka i Pitzgera. Iz ove čekaonice vode dvostruke stube, koje su ukrašene skulpturama kipara Vihre, đaka praške akademije, u čekaonicu za lože i balkon. Gledalište je dugačko 40 m, široko 14 m i visoko 11 i pol m. Projekcijska ploča na pozornici uokvirena je širokim zlatnim okvirom urešenim akantovim lišćem kipara Pitzgera, a s lijeve i desne strane nalaze se stupovi od crvenog mramora s bogato urešenim kompozitnim glavicama na kojima stoje po dva Vihrina fauna koji drže teret ostale konstrukcije nad pozornicom. U podnožju pozornice bio je namješten orkestar od 16 ljudi. Zidovi su ukrašeni bogatim štukaturama. Iza reprezentativnih zidnih svijećnjaka nalaze se rešetke ventilacije, kao i na stropu ukrašenom trima vijencima. Zgrada ima centralno grijanje i klimatizaciju putem mreže kanala u zidovima i stropu koje vode iz strojarnice u podrumu te zasebnu regulaciju temperature za svaku prostoriju. U dvorani je bilo 1100 sjedalica (lože, mezanin, prvo i drugo mjesto) i sva su sjedala bila numerirana. Prema navodima u dnevnim novinama bila je to sala, jedina takve vrste „na Balkanu“, s dvoranom koja je svojom akustikom bila pogodna i za filharmonijske i ine koncerte te ostala kulturna predavanja. Interijer dvorane izvorno je očuvan, osim što su postojeće sjedalice zamijenjene novima te se danas u kinodvorani nalazi 500 sjedala i pozornica veličine 15 x 2 metra s kinoplatnom. Ranih 50-ih godina prošlog stoljeća, gradnjom poslovne zgrade „Poljoopskrba-Astra“ prema projektu arhitekta Božidara Tušeka u Varšavskoj 3-5, izvedena je djelomična rekonstrukcija i dogradnja ulaznog prostora zgrade kina, čime je definiran današnji ulazni vestibul zgrade. Kino je nosilo imena "Balkan-Palace" i "Balkan", a od početka devedesetih godina prošloga stoljeća zove se "Europa".
