Filmpodium, a repertory cinema operated by the Mayor of Zurich’s Office of Cultural Affairs, screens around 350 different films per year. Thematic cycles and retrospectives of classic works of cinema run side-by-side with premieres of distinctive contemporary independent films from around the world, all in the original language; special events with live music and guest stars are part and parcel of the programme. The Filmpodium cinema, built in 1949, is Zurich’s most beautiful movie theatre.
The cinema is accessible for wheelchairs and equipped with a wireless assistive listening system.
