CINEMATEK: a unique cinema experience, how do we make the difference?
- More information on our tickets, subscriptions and gift vouchers can be found here
- The movie theatres have been completely renewed in 2021 with locally and sustainably produced seats.
- There is no advertising at the beginning, the film starts immediately.
- No food or drinks are allowed in the movie theatres. This allows everyone to enjoy the film to the fullest.
- The silent films are almost always accompanied by a pianist who improvises with the images.
- Most of the films we show are analogue films (non-digital copies), which are kept in our archives. Film has its own colour and wear effects, this vintage feel can be pleasantly surprising for those used to digital films. The films are systematically checked before projection.
Please make sure to be on time!
- Buy your tickets on time! Many of these unique screenings are sold out in advance.
- Come well in advance: people queue up in advance to be the first ones in the room. The coveted seats at the back fill up quickly. People who are late are not admitted to the screening once it has started.
- You are never too early: you are welcome starting half an hour before the screening.
- You can visit the Wunderkammer with pre-cinema items for free.
- You can browse through the latest film magazines, read historical newspaper clippings about the film you are about to see, or discover the DVD selection.
- There are hot and cold beverage dispensers. Please note that drinks and food are not allowed in the theatre.
