Art house cinemas in Brno
Řeháková, Petra ; Hanzlík, Jan (advisor) ; Tyslová, Irena (referee)
This Bachelor's Thesis describes the Art House Cinema situation in Brno, Czech Republic, especially in relation to the findings from the book Sure Seaters: The Emergence of Art House Cinema from Barbara Wilinski and analyses other related things that affect Art House Cinemas, such as the movie distribution network, film festivals, the emergence of art house cinema in the US and history if cinematography in the Czech Republic. There is only one art house cinema in Brno, the Art Cinema. It was founded in 1914 and its programme compared to other cinemas in Brno is very unconventional. Just like in the case of other art house cinemas its regular visitors are people who do not go to the cinema for pure entertainment but seek further values in cinema, like education. The average number of visitors in 2011 was comparable to other small cinemas in Brno. The cinema was digitalized towards the end of 2011 and this will allow the cinema to screen movies earlier after they are released to distribution. According to the director of Art Cinema, Mr. Daniel Zásměta, the cinema has a great potential to appeal to the younger population, mainly students, but has so far failed to reach them. The reason behand that might be in part due to its insufficient digital marketing and its weak social presence. The upcoming changes and the recent digitalization however have a chance to impove the situation and bring more visitor to the cinema, from all ranges of audiences.
