Počeci kinofikacije Pule (do početka Velikoga rata): prvi puljski stalni kinematografi i prvo erotsko kino

The paper explores the beginnings of movie screening activities in Pula from 1906 to 1914. The author deals with controversies and doubts regarding the imprecision of the terms semi-permanent and permanent cinema by drawing on examples from the first two cinemas in Pula. He corrects the errors in the names and origins of film screenings in certain theatres in Pula, warns of the omission of the first cinemas in Pula in all relevant Croatian encyclopaedias, books, anthologies and similar publications on the history of film in Croatia, and shows the peculiarity of the repertoire of the (second) cinema Edison which often features the so called “black evenings” (serate nere, Herrenabende), making it the first erotic cinema of Pula and present day Croatia.
