The Elektra cinema is undergoing renovation. Next up is air conditioning and roof repair

The first stage of the reconstruction of the Elektra cinema ran from December 2024 to the end of January 2025 and cost more than one million crowns. The Elektra Culture and Congress Centre managed to buy 223 almost new seats from the screening room of the OC Galerie Šantovka, which was converted into a multifunctional space. While the price of a new seat is approximately CZK 5,500, the price of a single seat was only CZK 852. To achieve the required number, KKC Elektra purchased another 40 brand new seats.

"As far as comfort is concerned, these are modern, medium-comfort seats commonly used in theatre and conference halls. Due to the fixed elevation of our cinema hall, it was not possible to choose larger seats with a larger reclining range, as there would not have been enough legroom or aisle space between the edge of the seat and the back of the previous row," explained KKC Elektra director Jan Zavřel.

The cinema hall is thus undergoing a gradual modernization. This year, the Elektra cinema will also have air conditioning installed, which will significantly increase the comfort of the audience during screenings.

"Culture is important for our city, and that is why we want to continue to support it. In addition to the installation of air-conditioning, this year the plan is also to repair the roof," said the mayor of Luhačovice, Marian Ležák, adding that the cost of this investment will cost the town hall 1 million crowns.
