Complejo Tita Merello

Complejo Tita Merello is a cinema in Buenos Aires featuring three screening rooms with a total capacity of around 1,500 seats. The building combines Art Deco elements with Hungarian architectural details from its original design.

The building opened in 1928 as Gran Cine Suipacha and became part of INCAA, the state film institute, in 1995. This transition helped secure the cinema as a dedicated space for Argentine film production and exhibition.

The cinema is named after Argentine performer Tita Merello and served as a key venue for showing locally made films. Visitors can sense the commitment to Argentine cinema in the halls that have supported this film tradition over the decades.

The cinema is located in a central area and easy to access, with multiple entrances serving the different screening rooms. It is helpful to check the schedule in advance to find which films are showing and confirm which room your screening is in.

The cinema was long known as Space INCAA Km 2 and was part of a nationwide network of theaters dedicated to Argentine cinema. This special role made it a place of resistance against the commercial dominance of foreign films in the city.
