Cinema Cinerama – Picture this

Rotterdam used to have a lot of cinemas and most of them slowly disappeared from the surface. Some only to remain by name like Off-Corso or Thalia. Youngsters visit them now and they probably don’t even know what the venues were before the spaces were turned into a club.

The surviving theatres Lantaren Venster (LV) and Cinerama are still the two left standing with an alternative program besides the commercial Pathe.

Whereas LV has a more alternative program (Spanish movies, Italian oldies, gay minded films and retrospectives), Cinerama also show movies with a commercial edge, e.g. the movie hit Slum Dog Millionaire or even Harry Potter.

Cinerama at the WestBlaak upgraded their venue recently so it can hold more movie loving visitors. Some halls have bigger chairs and offer more legroom.

Both have nice cafés to hang around before and after the movie, and frequented by a mixed and interesting crowd.

These locations are also part of the annual International Filmfestival Rotterdam at the end of January and other events or are for rent.
