Kolonnenstraße 5-6, 10827 Berlin
The Xenon Kino on Kolonnenstraße in Schoeneberg has been Berlin's dedicated queer cinema since the early 1980s, one of remarkably few venues anywhere in the world with a permanent LGBTQ+ programme year-round. Its single screen shows new queer cinema, festival favourites, repertory classics and broader arthouse releases.
