Indio Hornstull

Indio Hornstull is a movie theater in Högalid, Stockholm, characterized by functionalist architecture with clean lines and minimalist design. The building houses multiple screening rooms and is managed by Folkets hus och parker.

The cinema opened in 1943 as Biografen Rio and was renamed Kvartersbion in 1973. Its subsequent renaming to Indio Hornstull reflects the evolving history of the venue across the decades.

The theater serves as a neighborhood gathering place where locals come to watch films together. Its modest size creates an intimate setting that sets it apart from larger multiplex cinemas.

The theater has limited accessibility, so visitors with mobility concerns should check in advance. The best time to visit is usually on weekends when program variety is greatest.

Architect Albin Stark designed the building according to functionalist principles, creating an example of mid-twentieth century Swedish architecture. This architectural distinctiveness makes the venue noteworthy for those interested in this style period.
