Selected Films
14 Locations
Some Berlin cinemas are known for their selected films, the carefully chosen programmes that go beyond the usual multiplex fare. These selected films might be arthouse premieres, restored classics or themed retrospectives, screened for audiences who take their cinema seriously. This tag collects Berlin locations with a curator's touch.
Independent cinemas around Kreuzberg, Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg run originals with subtitles, director seasons and festival highlights, while open air screens take over courtyards and parks in summer. Programmes often come with introductions or discussions, and repertory nights revive films rarely seen on a big screen. The Berlinale each winter adds a citywide peak.
Browse the venues below to find selected films across Berlin, from quiet matinees to buzzing premiere nights.
