ALA Falkensee

Potsdamer Str. 4, 14612 Falkensee

Falkensee, a town just west of Berlin in Brandenburg, grew rapidly after reunification as Berliners sought affordable housing beyond the city limits. The ALA cinema on Potsdamer Strasse serves a community that retains a small-town feel despite its proximity to the capital. Many residents commute daily into Berlin but prefer to spend their evenings closer to home, giving the local cinema a reliable and grateful audience. The name ALA carries the compressed warmth of a familiar abbreviation, suggesting a venue that belongs to its community rather than to a chain.
