One of the gems on the cultural map of Szczecin is the “Pioneer 1907” cinema. This unusual place, which is among the prestigious Europa Cinemas network and the network of Studio Cinemas, and is one of the oldest cinemas in the world!
The history of the “Pioneer” officially begins on September 26, 1909. However, documents have been found that say its operation is even longer. The beginning of the cinema’s operation is as far back as 1907.
The cinema, located at 2 Wojska Polskiego Avenue in Szczecin, is a place that has been distinguished from other such places by its atmosphere. In “Pioneer” it is difficult to look for commercial productions and popcorn. However, cinema lovers will find there ambitious European, Asian and South American cinema. A unique experience will certainly be provided by a screening in the “Kiniarni,” a space created in 202. In the room, which is a combination of a cinema and a cafe, we will be transported to the early 20th century, where, sitting at a table, we will watch films projected from a projector.
Currently, the “Pioneer 1907” cinema is privately owned. Due to the decision of one of the owners to retire and the risk that the “Pioneer” will be liquidated, work is underway to ensure the continued operation of the cinema. Therefore, the City has decided to secure funds in the amount of PLN 2,000,000, which can be used for the possible purchase of the facility with its equipment. Talks between the owner and the City of Szczecin regarding the future of the cinema are ongoing. We keep our fingers crossed for the success of this venture, so that the “Pioneer” can continue to please residents and tourists in an unchanged form.
