Film

Theaterkunst GmbH, located on Eisenzahnstraße, has been Germany's largest costume house since 1907, supplying film, television, and stage from a unique collection of this size.

Big cinema at Zoo Palast! The elaborately restored, traditional Berlin cinema shows sophisticated entertainment and family films.

The Film Park is located on Großbeerenstraße in Potsdam, right next to the world's oldest large studio, where films have been shot since 1912. It features around twenty attractions and four shows with stunt performers, pyrotechnicians, and animal trainers. In the TV studio, guests can step in front of the camera themselves, and an adult ticket costs 25 Euros online.

In the green area behind the Bethanien Art Quarter, approximately 300 deck chairs are set up under old trees, along with seat cushions and free fleece blankets. Arthouse films, international classics, and award-winning works are continuously shown here in original versions with German or English subtitles, and the access is wheelchair-friendly.

The Astor Film Lounge on Kurfürstendamm pampers its audience with a luxurious ambience, selected films and in-seat service!

The old open-air stage in Volkspark Rehberge accommodates around 1,500 guests on tiered benches with backrests. An inflatable screen, modern laser projection, and an induction loop are included, admission is 9.50 Euros, and the premises are wheelchair-accessible with a barrier-free toilet. Seat cushions and free fleece blankets are available.

A little hidden, in the third backyard of the Höfe am Südstern in Kreuzberg, lies the small, relaxed arthouse cinema, which has since become an institution.

The building at Platz der Luftbrücke is one of the largest in the world, and precisely these dimensions make it a recurring guest in cinema, from Billy Wilder to The Hunger Games. Tours start at the visitor center, last approximately two hours, and cost from 17.50 Euros, but the tour is not barrier-free, and rollators are not permitted.

Located at Südstern in Kreuzberg, a collection of over 5,000 pieces offers everything from Baroque to disco glam, serving professional film and theater productions as well as individuals seeking the perfect look.

Since 2026, Kino Arsenal has been located in the silent green cultural quarter in Berlin-Wedding and is one of the Berlinale venues.

Beneath the intersection at the ICC lies a pedestrian tunnel from the seventies with orange tiles, round columns, and cylindrical ceiling lights, which has never been modernized. Production teams book it more frequently than the Brandenburg Gate or the Reichstag, from The Bourne Conspiracy to Hanna and Don to Atomic Blonde.

In Nikolaikirchplatz during Advent, only one film is shown: “Die Feuerzangenbowle” with Heinz Rühmann from 1943, approximately 90 minutes long. It is screened in a wooden house equipped with armchairs, sofas, and blankets. Among Berlin's winter leisure activities, this has the lowest barrier: admission is free.

Anyone who loves watching English films in their original language will love the cult cinema Odeon in Schöneberg!

The Kino International on Karl-Marx-Allee was the premiere cinema of the DEFA and has been back in operation since February 2026 after a renovation costing around 15 million Euros. The floating foyer bar from 1963, the concrete relief on the side walls, and the panoramic bar have remained. For Ostalgie in Berlin, this is the place with the greatest contrast between concrete and glamour.

The independent costume workshop Narciss&Goldfaden in Prenzlauer Berg combines artisanal precision with an artistic eye, working for theatre, stage shows, and film from pattern creation to premiere.

On 16 hectares in Falkenberg, there is a complex made of exposed concrete with over two hundred individually shaped round columns, large water features, and a circular outdoor area of approximately 210 meters in diameter, housing fifteen dog pavilions. Dietrich Bangert designed it, and productions like Aeon Flux use it as ready-made futuristic architecture.

In the Ehrenhof on Stauffenbergstraße, Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg and his co-conspirators planned the assassination attempt on Hitler, and here they were shot the very same night after its failure. Admission, public tours and the audio guide of the German Resistance Memorial Center are free, and scenes for Operation Valkyrie were filmed here.

COMME des COSTUMES in Tempelhof is a costume rental, fashion archive, and professional costume house all in one, operated by a costume designer who also works in cinema.

Behind the sandstone facade on Gerichtstraße in Wedding lies Berlin's first crematorium. Since 2013, it has become the silent green Kulturquartier, offering concerts, film programs, and exhibitions in the cupola hall and the underground concrete hall.

Today, the screen is located in the Atelier Gardens on Oberlandstraße, on the former Berliner Union-Film-Ateliers site at the edge of Tempelhofer Feld. Comfortable deck chairs await in front of the studio halls, showing independent cinema, current arthouse highlights, short films, documentaries, and festival specials, including special screenings.

Two Neo-Gothic brick towers, the yellow U1 train on the upper level, and the Spree river below form one of Berlin's most iconic cityscapes, with the East Side Gallery and the Spree riverbank right next door. The bridge became famous through Run Lola Run, and since then it has been a staple when a shot needs to be immediately recognizable as Berlin.

Deep in the southeast of Berlin, on the Adlershof Media Campus, film history is stored across more than 4,000 square meters. For decades, Adlershofer Fundus has been the go-to address for commercial productions seeking historically accurate costumes and props, from GDR television heritage to international series productions.

Hof Windlicht behind the Kulturfabrik on Lehrter Straße accommodates around 100 guests between old brick walls and the tracks of the long-distance railway. For over three decades, the volunteer association Filmrausch Moabit has been showing original versions with subtitles, its own series like Reel Love and Gamerausch, as well as surprise films with free admission.

The World Clock, TV Tower, and the panel buildings of late GDR modernism form one backdrop above, while the tunnels and platforms below form another, which can be cordoned off and illuminated. Filming took place here for Good Bye Lenin, Flightplan, The Bourne Ultimatum, and Babylon Berlin, and the square is connected like almost no other.

Rum-soaked sugar cones and the classic film "Die Feuerzangenbowle" (The Fire-Tongs Punch) are the focus of the atmospheric Winter Film Festival in the Nikolaiviertel in Berlin-Mitte.
