Kino Bosna

Sarajevo


This historical cinema overflows on Mondays during smoky singalongs to the house band playing Bosnian sevdah songs. Yugo-nostalgics pack in for New Wave nights and other themed parties. The building, originally industrial, was adapted into a workers club, then a theatre from the 1940s. It houses the national film archive.
