Fågel Blå, Movie theater in Östermalm, Sweden
Fågel Blå is a cinema in Ostermalm that reopened with a renovated auditorium and modern projection equipment following a complete overhaul in fall 2023. An adjoining bistro and bar occupy the same building at Skeppargatan 60.
The cinema opened in 1926 and ranks among Stockholm's oldest movie theaters. It has endured decades of shifts in the film industry before undergoing its recent comprehensive modernization.
The name references Maeterlinck's symbolic work on the pursuit of happiness, reflecting the theater's focus on artistic cinema. This draws visitors who seek thoughtful films in a setting that values cultural engagement over commercial entertainment.
The venue sits roughly 300 meters from Karlaplan subway station and is easily accessible on foot. Screenings of contemporary and classic films run from Wednesday through Sunday.
Sunday morning screenings feature a French breakfast with croissants, pain au chocolat, coffee, tea, and fresh juice included for viewers. Monday evenings regularly showcase films by director Ingmar Bergman with English subtitles.
