Metropolis Kino

Metropolis Kino is an art house cinema in Hamburg featuring a single screen with 270 seats that shows classic films, independent productions, and international cinema. The auditorium sits behind a modern office building facade near the State Opera House.

The cinema began operating in 1979 and occupied several locations before moving in 2011 to its current building on Kleine Theaterstrasse. Since then it has remained dedicated to film preservation and safeguarding cinema history.

The cinema works with Deutsche Kinemathek to organize retrospectives and themed film series that invite audiences to discuss cinema and its traditions. Visitors encounter programs focused on how films reflect and shape cultural conversations.

The cinema provides wheelchair accessibility and sits next to the State Opera House, making it easy to reach. Visitors can purchase tickets online and check the program on its website.

The cinema houses an archive containing more than 5000 analog films in 35mm and 16mm formats plus an extensive collection of videos and digital media. This collection makes it a rare repository for film formats that are increasingly difficult to find elsewhere.
