Film archive establishes its own theater for screenings
New Cinematheque Venue to Open in Karl-Liebknecht-Straße
The Cinematheque association is set to open a new venue at Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, with the doors scheduled to open on Monday. The exact opening date beyond 2025 remains undisclosed.
The new venue will serve as a multifaceted cultural space for cinema, offering more than just education. It will host film screenings, special moderated events, and support for independent films, as well as cultural activities related to cinema.
The venue will feature an exhibition area, a new addition to the Cinematheque, and will also offer additional educational programming. It will be equipped with updated cinemas to enhance the cinematic experience, and will host themed events both as part of its regular programming and beyond.
Despite the opening of the new venue, the Cinematheque association's programs at nato, the Summer Cinema at Conne Island, and the Moritzbastei will continue. The association has not announced any changes to its commitment to promoting cinema culture, and has not disclosed any plans for expanding beyond the new venue at this time.
The venue's screening room will seat 30 people, the same capacity as the current one at the association's previous location. The Cinematheque association has been organising the Summer Cinema at Conne Island annually, and has also been hosting events at the Moritzbastei.
The new venue will also participate in collaborations with notable cinematic institutions, such as the RIGA International Film Festival, which is connected to La Cinémathèque Française. This indicates a commitment to maintaining a high standard of cinema culture and promoting international collaborations.
For those interested in the precise opening date, checking official Cinematheque announcements or Karl-Liebknecht-Straße event listings closer to 2025 might be necessary.
The new Cinematheque Venue in Karl-Liebknecht-Straße aims to enrich the lifestyle of its visitors with an emphasis on outdoor-living and home-and-garden, as it will host themed events and educational programming related to these topics. The multifaceted cultural space will offer more than just film screenings, providing a unique blend of cinema culture with horticulture and off-screen activities.
