The building features elements of “nautical” architecture, a style that was very popular during the functionalist period. Aero opened on 10 November 1933 with a screening of the film Madla z cihelny (Madla from the Brickworks), attended in person by Lída Baarová, Hugo Haas, director Vladimír Slavínský, and other well-known figures. Before the war, the cinema mostly screened Czechoslovak, American, German, and French films; during the war, it showed German, Czech, as well as French and Italian films (including the mandatory weekly newsreels). From 1948 until the mid-1960s, Soviet films made up the majority of the cinema’s programme. After that, “socialist” productions, including domestic ones, accounted for about 60 percent of the programme, with the remainder coming from non-communist countries. Renovations carried out in 1959, 1998, and 2001 saw the original seating capacity of 648 reduced to the 336 seats the cinema offers now.
