Movie establishment launches its movie theater

The Cinémathèque association, known for its diverse range of film programs and events, is expanding its horizons with a new venue located at Karl-Liebknecht-Straße 109 in Leipzig. The new space will continue to offer a variety of cinematic experiences, including themed screenings and discussions on social issues such as migration, structural racism, and inter-cultural topics.

The upcoming events at the new venue include the screening of "ETERNAL YOU – VOM ENDE DER ENDLICHKEIT" on September 18, 2025, at 19:30, as well as the kort.film.tour. The venue also facilitates post-screening discussions to engage audiences on important topics, as demonstrated by a previous screening and discussion on domestic violence held on April 15, 2024.

The new venue will feature a screening room with seating for 30 and an exhibition space, providing a cosy and intimate atmosphere for film enthusiasts. The association will continue to show the programs previously presented at the NATO and the Sommerkino at Conne Island and the Moritzbastei, and will also offer educational programs and themed events at the new venue.

While the association's new venue marks a new chapter, it is not its first foray into organising events. The Cinémathèque association has previously shown its programs at the NATO and the Sommerkino at Conne Island and the Moritzbastei. However, the impact of the relocation on these former sites is not clear from the available information, as it does not provide direct details on how the new venue affects these locations.

The opening date of the Cinémathèque association's new venue is confirmed as Monday, marking the association's first own venue. The venue will not have a unique name, simply referred to as the Cinémathèque association's own venue. The association annually organises the Sommerkino at Conne Island and the Moritzbastei, and will continue to do so alongside the new venue.

For those seeking further information on the future plans for the association's former venues, direct contact with Cinémathèque Leipzig is advisable. The new venue promises to continue the association's commitment to providing a diverse range of cinematic experiences and engaging discussions on important social issues.
