Cine Brasília, Movie theater in neighborhood unit 107/307 and 108/308 South, Brasília, Brazil.
Cine Brasília is a movie theater in Brasília featuring modernist architecture with clean lines and geometric forms throughout its structure. Large windows flood the entrance hall with natural light and create an inviting space for those arriving to watch films.
Designed by Oscar Niemeyer with structural calculations by Joaquim Cardozo and built by Novacap, Cine Brasília opened on 22 April 1960, one day after Brasília itself, during the capital's inauguration festivities. The first screening, attended by Israel Pinheiro after President Juscelino Kubitschek's schedule was delayed, showed two American films to a full house. A major renovation reopened it on 7 July 1976, and another was completed in 2013.
The theater serves as a gathering place for cinema enthusiasts and prioritizes Brazilian films, placing national productions at the center of its cultural mission. Visitors experience a direct connection to the country's film culture through the programming and the diverse audiences who attend.
The theater is easily accessible by public transportation, with stops located near the residential units in the area. Visitors can check ticket information in advance on the official website to plan their visit more effectively.
The theater hosts the annual Festival de Brasília do Cinema Brasileiro, which screens approximately 79 Brazilian films across nine different program sections. This festival makes the venue an important center for discovering both new and established Brazilian cinema.
