Cinemateket Filmens Hus

Cinemateket Filmens Hus is a film archive and cinema with two projection rooms located on Dronningens Gate in central Oslo. The rooms show classic films, recent works, and international cinema through a regular weekly program.

The institution was founded to preserve Norwegian and international films, building an extensive collection since its establishment. This growth reflects how cinema came to be recognized as an important part of cultural heritage.

The name reflects a dedication to cinema as both art and meeting place, drawing together people who seek out uncommon and artistic films. This creates a community of viewers who value thoughtful film programming over commercial offerings.

The cinema operates with varying hours across different days of the week, so checking the schedule before visiting is helpful. The location in central Oslo makes it easy to reach on foot or by public transport from most parts of the city.

The cinema operates Barnas Cinematek, a children's screening program on weekends that introduces young audiences to varied film selections. These sessions are carefully chosen to suit different age groups and spark early interest in cinema.
