From Dec 1st to 15th, we are bidding farewell to our audiences and to Potsdamer Platz with a program that is bursting at the seams: 40 events in two weeks!
For the whole program see our website:

An era is coming to an end: the Arsenal cinema at Potsdamer Platz is closing! We are moving to our new location at silent green [email protected] in Wedding! The new auditorium opens at the start of 2026.
Since June 1st, 2000, we have been doing everything we can to keep reinventing cinema and find the greatest range of possible answers to the question “What can cinema do?” every single evening. There have been numerous occasions to take a self-reflexive look at our cinema practice over the years: Potsdamer Platz was a challenging location from the start; the omnipresence of moving images outside of the cinema auditorium wrought by digitization; the pandemic, which led to an explosion of home streaming; the notorious lack of resources and the need to preserve spaces for open culture and maintain dialogue in the face of multiple political crises.
We are offering a kaleidoscope of different themes that relate to the power and possibilities of cinema and to show a small section of what cinema can do: Association/Alienation/Transformation, Autobiography, Cairo, Camp, Champagne, Cinema Hopping, Dialogue, Distribution, Dostoevsky, Fairy Tales, Farewells, Feminism, the Future, Genre, Gossip, History, In-between Spaces, Laughter, Living Archive, Literature, Magic, Musicals, Nature, Opulence, Overtaking at Speed, Performance, Performing Documentary, Premieres, Pop & Politics, Potsdamer Platz, the Present, Projection, 70 mm, Sony Center, Rising Stars, Falling Stars, Starring Roles, Still Lives, University, Virtuosity, World Travel, Winterfest. Cinema can do all these things – and much, much more.
Celebrate this farewell with us and join us in raising our glasses to the past 25 years and the ones to come, we’re looking forward to seeing you!
