Description
Tilsiter Lichtspiele is a historic movie theater in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg with two screening rooms of different sizes. The main hall accommodates around 69 viewers, while a smaller secondary room holds approximately 26 seats.
History
The building opened in 1908 as a Kinematograph theater and closed its doors in 1961. After decades of sitting unused, three filmmakers restored the venue in 1994 and brought it back to life.

The cinema shows films from Europe, America, and Asia while hosting film concerts with live music and author readings throughout the year. Visitors experience programming that goes beyond typical mainstream cinema.
