Zita is a movie theater on Birger Jarlsgatan 37 in Stockholm. Visit Stockholm traces its name through Vinterpalatset, Gyllene Göken, Rita, Nya Rita and finally Zita. It first opened in 1913 and is Stockholm’s oldest movie theater still in operation. Its history includes silent films, a period as part of the RI movie empire and a period as an adult movie theater. Visit Stockholm presents these as different chapters in the story of the same cinema at this address.
Today, Zita primarily offers independent and world cinema. Once each year, it screens Swedish classics with English subtitles. The annual classics screenings are the specific occasion the listing identifies for seeing Swedish films with English subtitles; its main programme is described more broadly as independent and world cinema. Zita also houses Bongo Bar. Visitors can get a drink or a meal there before or after a movie, so the bar can be part of a visit to the cinema. The information provided does not give a screening schedule, ticket prices or a typical visit length.
