Fyrisbiografen, Movie theater in Uppsala, Sweden.
Fyrisbiografen is a cinema with two screening rooms in the Skandalhuset building, showing a varied program of different film genres throughout the week. The spaces accommodate audiences who regularly watch films from local to international creators.
The cinema was founded in 1911 and ranks among the oldest continuously operating cinemas in Sweden. Its long history makes it a witness to film culture in Uppsala across more than a century.
The cinema focuses on European art films and international productions, hosting special screenings and talks that bring audiences together. This approach creates a space for film enthusiasts who want deeper conversations about cinema.
Fyrisbiografen occupies the Skandalhuset building at S:t Olofsgatan 10, with two halls: Fyris 1 and the smaller Fyris 2, added in 1991 with 29 seats. The two halls hold 123 seats in total. The premises are not wheelchair accessible, so visitors with mobility needs should check access before booking.
Fyris 2, added in 1991, seats only 29 people but gave the cinema the freedom to vary its programme; the two halls together hold 123. Since 2012 the cinema has been run by a non-profit association, and in 1998 it joined the Europa Cinemas network, which pays subsidies twice a year based on the number of European films shown.
