Cinema Skalvija — Local services in Vilnius

My worst experience ever. I bought a ticket for a film with english subtitles - The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, the film was part of the "kino klasikos vakarai" which is always or most of the times screened with english subtitles - you can confirm this in their website. Not only the movie didn't have english subtitles but, when I talked to the unidentified employee, after her smoking pause, she told me that there was nothing she could do. Of course I didn't take that for an answer since I paid for something i didn't get. It was the same as buying a phone at a store, getting an empty box, and being told that it was my own problem - well, that's not true. Fortunately, all consumers are protected by national and European laws that would never go along with whatever rules this employee thinks she is under. After explaining this to her, she offered me a voucher to another movie, I accepted so I could leave the place as fast as possible. One thing is buying a ticket and no longer want to use it, in this case, they have the right to not give you your money back, another thing, is to buy a ticket advertising "x" and getting "y", in that case the law will always be on your side, and you (or I, if this happens again when i use the voucher) will get your money back from the hands of that rude, unprofessional and...

This theater, although not as comfortable as the other ones in Vilnius (the chairs and screen size being the biggest issues) is still a very cozy place with one huge advantage - Skalvija often has many special screenings, participates in film festivals and events and shows many underrated, smaller, independent and/or foreign movies, as well as older classics.

You can really see that this small theater is managed with love toward cinema and in light of that all of the disadvantages fade away quite quickly.

Definitely worth checking out for their awesome schedule and screenings that are only...

Small cinema with perfect oldtown vibe. Besides movies there is coffee place also. I had coconut coffee, it was too sweet, but my my friend took thymus tea, it was perfect. My recommendation is to get your tickets few days before coming, because they have just one hall to watch movies and this hall is not the biggest one. Anyways I totally recommend to watch a movie here, just to feel super artistic vibe...
