Bosna i Hercegovina

Kino Bosna, formerly Kino Prvi Maj (Cinema of the 1st May), is a very important spot on Sarajevo's alternative arts scene. The building that houses the cinema was built in 1928 and, back then, it was one of only a few movie theaters in town. A stage was installed when the cinema hall was being constructed and, in addition to film screenings, this facility has always served as a venue for different kinds of manifestations: plays, concerts, dance evenings.... After the war in the 1990s, Kino Prvi Maj was renamed Kino Bosna and, in more recent years, it has served less as a cinema and more as a place where interesting arts events, such as music gigs, exhibitions, performances, etc. are held.
