Filmtheater am Friedrichshain is a five-screen Yorck cinema on Bötzowstraße, facing the Volkspark Friedrichshain. It opened in 1925 as the Olympia, in a building that is now listed. Yorck took it over in 1995, when the set designer Vera Dobroschke designed five separate rooms, and it opened as an arthouse cinema in 1996. All rooms have laser projection, with 4K in Halls 1 and 2. In summer there is a beer garden beside the cinema.
Yorck says the cinema shows American independent films alongside European and German work, regularly in the original version, and gives particular space to children's and youth cinema, hosting festivals such as Cinefête. On its listings, DF marks German-language audio, OmU the original with German subtitles and OmeU the original with English subtitles. None of these labels by itself means English audio, and our listings here are for English-audio screenings.
Yorck lists the 200 bus and the M4 and M10 lines. Several steps lead to the main entrance; a lift at the side of the building gives level access to the lobby, and there is a barrier-free toilet. Hall 1 has a side entrance to the front aisle, Hall 4 level access via the emergency exit (tell the staff in both cases), and Halls 2, 3 and 5 have steps. Yorck's accessibility page has the details.
