Filmhuis Cavia

Forty seats up a staircase, started by squatters in 1983 and never tidied up.

The place

The smallest cinema in the city and the oldest underground one, run without profit and largely without compromise. You climb a narrow staircase above a gym and find mismatched seats, a small screen and a programme of cult, activist and world cinema that no multiplex would touch. Five euros, no reservations, no adverts.

Before you go

Cash, and be early. Forty seats go fast and there is no way to hold one.
