Kino Babylon

Kino Babylon is a movie theater in central Berlin with multiple screening rooms showing international films, classics, and contemporary works. The building features several spaces designed to accommodate different viewing experiences and special programming.

Hans Poelzig designed the building in 1929 during Berlin's period of rapid architectural change. The cinema reflects early modern design principles and has remained a fixture of the city's entertainment landscape ever since.

The cinema serves as a meeting point where audiences encounter films from around the world and engage with diverse storytelling traditions. Its programming choices reflect a commitment to showing work that might not appear in mainstream multiplexes.

The cinema opens on weekdays at 5 p.m., with weekend screenings starting a bit earlier. It helps to check online beforehand to see what films are showing and when they begin.

The cinema regularly shows silent films accompanied by live musicians performing on stage. These screenings restore the original impact of the films and create an experience you cannot find in typical modern theaters.
