Kino Przytulne ŁDK

Kino Przytulne is an intimate cinema hall operating in the building of Łódzki Dom Kultury at ulica Traugutta 18 in Śródmieście [city centre]. Alongside Kino Szpulka, it is the second film hall run by the same institution, focused on non-commercial cinema: European films, documentaries and concert recordings, rather than productions from major studios.

From Kino Kameralne to Kino Przytulne

Kino Przytulne began operations on 1 October 2014 as a continuation of the former Kino Kameralne ŁDK which had operated in the same building. The change of name did not alter its profile: the hall continues to show ambitious cinema, aimed at viewers seeking something other than the multiplex repertoire.

Two halls in one building

Łódzki Dom Kultury operates two cinema halls at its premises: Kino Szpulka and Kino Przytulne. Both belong to Sieć Kin Studyjnych i Lokalnych, a nationwide network of cinemas showing non-commercial film. The repertoire of both halls focuses on European productions, documentaries and recordings of concerts and performances.

The Łódzki Dom Kultury building

The building was constructed in 1935–1939 in modernist style, designed by architect Wiesław Lisowski. The institution itself has operated here since 1953. The building underwent renovation in 1980–1986 and in 2018, which also included cinema infrastructure.

Repertoire and programme

The current repertoire is published on the website kino.ldk.lodz.pl, shared by both ŁDK halls. In addition to film screenings, other cultural events hosted by Łódzki Dom Kultury take place in the building, which affects the hall's availability and opening hours on particular days.

Practical information

• Address: ul. gen. Romualda Traugutta 18, Śródmieście, Łódź.
• Location in the city centre, close to other cultural institutions in Śródmieście.
• Screening times depend on the current repertoire and other events in the ŁDK building, so it is worth checking the current programme on the cinema's website before visiting.
• You can expect an intimate hall and a repertoire of European and documentary cinema and special screenings, rather than Hollywood releases.
