Azadi Cinema Complex, Movie theater in District 6, Tehran, Iran
Azadi Cinema Complex is a multiplex theater in District 6 featuring five separate screening rooms with varying capacities to accommodate different audience sizes. The facility is organized across multiple levels to house projection equipment, seating areas, and supporting spaces for film presentation.
The building first opened in 1969 as Shahre Farang Cinema, representing an early multiplex venture in Tehran. Severe fire damage led to comprehensive reconstruction, with the renamed facility reopening in 2008 as a modernized entertainment venue.
The cinema serves as a gathering place where Tehran audiences experience both Iranian productions and films from around the world on its multiple screens. The venue has become deeply rooted in the city's film culture and social life over the decades.
The complex sits on Beheshti Street with convenient access from various public transportation lines serving the area. Plan your visit around regular daytime and evening screenings that run throughout the week.
Beyond the screening rooms, the structure houses a cinematheque and an underground museum, creating spaces for film archiving and historical collections alongside regular cinema operations. These additions distinguish the venue from typical multiplex cinemas found elsewhere in the city.
