I'm back!

Hi, everybody! I'm back! Sorry for the long break. I checked all the links at the blog and some of them aren't valid :(. It seems that none of the Kiev cinemas show movies in English on a regular basis. But sometimes they held on the festivals of foreign movies. I've found a few interesting events and I'll give you details soon. Be in touch!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

English Cinema Club

There is a new place in Kiev where you can find English movies (thanks El-Amin6Kiev for information).

The Masterklass Cinema Club is not only about showing films in English. Before each film a native English speaker will make a short introduction. Afterwards, in our cosy cafe the viewers can relax with a cup of tea and take part in an informal discussion of questions and problems raised by the film.
