About
Located in the Maison de France, Cinema Paris shows French-language and European films, often in original versions with subtitles. French movie stars and filmmakers are frequent guests: Claude Chabrol, Cathérine Deneuve, Alain Delon, Juliette Binoche, Gérard Depardieu, François Ozon and many more have all been here.
History
Cinema Paris is one of the city's most glamorous and ambitious movie theaters and was a Berlinale venue for many years. From its opening in 1950 in the Maison de France center, it showed sophisticated film productions from France and Europe, thus assuming a crucial cultural role in the changing city. It has remained true to this mission. Today it is a popular premiere cinema, Berlin's 1000st officially protected landmark building, and host of the "French Film Week" as well as the French youth film festival "Cinefête".

The French state ends the search for a tenant to return the cinema to its original programmatic course. Delphi operator Walter Jonigkeit (1907-2009) and the Yorck Kinogruppe are awarded the contract and, from 1994, make the cinema once again an important ambassador for European and, in particular, French-language film culture.Accessibility
