Arsenal, Arthouse cinema in Sony Center, Berlin, Germany
Arsenal is a program cinema in the Sony Center on Potsdamer Straße with multiple screening rooms for independent and international films. The theaters show films in their original versions and present a wide range from experimental video to silent films and contemporary productions.
The cinema was founded in 2000 and has focused on experimental video art and restored classics from the start. This orientation has made it a significant venue for rare and artistically important films in Berlin.
The cinema regularly shows experimental video art and classic films that are harder to find elsewhere. Visitors encounter an audience that deliberately seeks out crafted and artistically demanding work.
The theaters are centrally located in the Sony Center and easy to find, with most films running in original versions with German subtitles. Visitors should note that the program changes regularly and advance booking is recommended, especially for special events.
The cinema works closely with the Berlinale and shows forum films there, often avant-garde works by experimental filmmakers. This special connection to Europe's largest film festival gives it a distinctive profile throughout the year.
