Sture

Sture is a three-screen cinema in the Östermalm district of Stockholm that shows both European films and American productions alongside other releases. The venue accommodates approximately 350 people and sits on Birger Jarlsgatan street in the city center.

This cinema opened in 1920 when it was built as part of Stockholm's growth as an entertainment center designed by architects Östlihn and Stark. The building reflects early 20th-century design approaches to public gathering spaces for film.

This cinema serves Stockholm audiences as a space where European and international films reach viewers seeking alternatives to mainstream releases. It functions as a platform for different film traditions and storytelling approaches.

The venue is fully accessible for wheelchair users and offers screenings daily throughout the week. The surrounding neighborhood contains restaurants and entertainment spots convenient for visitors planning time before or after a film.

This cinema operates in partnership with the Swedish Film Institute and regularly screens selections from their specialized programming lineup. This partnership allows viewers to discover films that do not appear in standard commercial multiplex schedules.
