Films are woven into Berlin life, from grand old picture palaces to tiny neighbourhood screens. The city shows films of every kind, from blockbusters to obscure classics, often in the original language with subtitles. This overview gathers Berlin locations for a trip to the cinema.
Independent cinemas across Kreuzberg, Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg programme arthouse and world films, while multiplexes cover the big releases. Open air screens take over parks and courtyards in summer, and the Berlinale brings a global spotlight each winter. Many venues add bars, discussions and themed nights to the experience.
