Moviemento, Historic movie theater in Kreuzberg, Germany.
Moviemento is a movie theater on Kottbusser Damm in the Kreuzberg neighborhood of Berlin, with three screening rooms of different sizes. The rooms are relatively small, which puts the audience close to the screen.
The building opened in 1907 as the Vitascope Theatre and was originally designed as a much larger venue. Over the following decades it was restructured and reduced to its current three-room layout.
The cinema focuses on independent films and works from around the world that rarely appear in mainstream venues. The audience tends to be people who seek out films they would not find elsewhere in the city.
The theater sits on Kottbusser Damm and is within walking distance of several bus stops and a nearby metro station. As the building dates from the early 20th century, access for people with limited mobility may be difficult.
Several original details from 1907 are still visible inside the building, including the historical bathroom facilities that have barely changed. These features give a sense of what early cinema spaces looked like before they were renovated or demolished.
