About the venue: Biograf Kotva

Biograf Kotva on Lidická třída is the last classic single-screen cinema in České Budějovice.

Today it screens in digital 3D with Dolby Atmos sound and co-organises festivals such as Jeden svět, Tady Vary and the French Film Festival. The attached café with a garden terrace also hosts exhibitions and small concerts.
