University Cinema Scala is a venue with a century-long history of cinematic tradition. The latest era of the cinema is created by Masaryk University and Aeropolis, who together provide a continuous programme of film productions all year long.

The auditorium is equipped with 7.1 Dolby Digital Plus sound. The equipment also includes a subtitle projection device. The Cafe bar has a capacity of 55 seats, and uses projection in HD quality with stereo sound.
