Movie room

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The film space (alternative spelling film-space ) is a cinema in the Mügge Kampstraße in Hamburger district Eimsbuettel . The cinema operated by Behzad Safari is one of the smallest art house cinemas in Hamburg with around 35–40 seats.

The program focuses on demanding, socially critical auteur films , documentaries and short film evenings away from the cinematic mainstream , some in the original version with subtitles , as well as films for children and young people . Concerts, readings and sociocultural and artistic projects are also held there. The operators see the cinema as a forum for exchange between all those involved. The FilmRaum also cooperates with the Hamburg Short Film Festival , the European Film Prize , the Eimsbüttel history workshop and organizes an open-air cinema in Hamburg's city park during the summer months .

history

The FilmRaum emerged from a video library that had been in existence since 2008 , which hired out video cassettes and DVDs and had occasionally shown films in its own rooms beforehand and made the rooms available for cultural events. The increasing spread of Internet streaming services in the 2010s deprived the video library of its business basis and made a realignment necessary. In 2015, the video library was finally rededicated to a small cinema with a living room atmosphere, with the film distribution still running on the side.

reception

In August 2019, the FilmRaum was awarded the Hamburg Cinema Prize from the Hamburg Authority for Culture and Media and the Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein Film Funding .
