Be a Moviemento Hero

We were told in mid-October that the space where the cinema Moviemento is and always has been since 1907 will be put on the market to sell. The selling price is so high that the cinema will no longer be able to afford the rent after the space has been sold.

We want to purchase the space that houses Kino Moviemento, remove it from market speculation and ensure the long-term survival of the oldest cinema in Germany.
Nothing else threatens cultural sites in our cities as extremely as real-estate speculation. If we don’t watch out, these places will disappear.

Moviemento is a legend. Who hasn’t fallen in love here, fought over films, and experienced unforgettable moments? You also can’t imagine the world without Moviemento? Then be a Moviemento Hero. Let’s together preserve an unforgettable and incomparable place, a place for controversial films und discussions, for scores of festivals and premieres, for kids’ films and school events, for film education and for the first ever visit to a cinema.

The money will be used to purchase the space of Kino Moviemento. Should more money be donated than ultimately necessary for the purchase (through reduction of the sale price or through money from backers) this money will be entirely used to build a long-planned 4th theater room and perhaps even an extension to our smallest theater room, theater 3.

The whole Moviemento Team stands behind this project, represented by the managers Iris Praefke and Wulf Sörgel, who already saved the cinema from closing in 2007, on the anniversary of its 100th birthday, and who, together with their entire team, again turned the cinema into the amazing place it is today.
