The Cinema Øst for Paradis in Aarhus

The Cinema, Øst for Paradis in the central Aarhus, is the place for anyone looking for alternative, hand-picked films from around the world. Since 1978, the venue has developed into something of a cultural phenomenon, offering films, events and a cosy café atmosphere on Paradisgade.

So if you’re into films that stray from the mainstream, Øst for Paradis is a great place to settle into a cinema seat. The venue was founded on the idea that Aarhus lacked a cinema for alternative films that didn’t make it into the city’s other cinemas.

Here, a Finnish, Turkish or French film might well be selected if it has something special to say. Øst for Paradis also screens classics and new releases, and hosts a wide range of film events featuring talks and drinks. As a special touch, you can even hold your next birthday party or, for example, a morning meeting at the cinema.

The passion for film continues in the café

The cinema also embraces the idea that the film experience doesn’t have to end when the credits roll. Before and after the film, you can enjoy a coffee, glass of wine or speciality beer in the cinema’s café – and as an added bonus, you’re allowed to take your drinks into the cinemahall.

The café helps to create that special atmosphere where a passion for films can also unfold in conversations over a cold or hot drink.
