Kino in der Brotfabrik

Prenzlauer Promenade 3, 13086 Berlin

The Kino in der Brotfabrik occupies one wing of a former bread factory on Prenzlauer Promenade in Weissensee that has been reborn as a multidisciplinary arts centre. Theatre, gallery exhibitions and literary events share the building, and the cinema absorbs something of each -- its programme of independent, documentary and short films often connects to the wider artistic conversations happening next door. Weissensee, set at the northeastern edge of Berlin's inner city, remains a neighbourhood of relative quiet and genuine local character. The Brotfabrik complex rewards the journey with an atmosphere that feels handmade rather than institutional, where culture is produced on a human scale. For those willing to venture beyond the usual circuits, this is one of Berlin's most rewarding small venues.
