The Tilsiter Lichtspiele was established in 1908, and closed in 1961 the year the Berlin Wall went up, and opened again in 1994 by a motivated film and artist collective. Alongside the assortment of favourites from VAN GOGH to PULP FICTION, the Tilsiter offers a spacious and comfortable bar. In 2012 the "Tilsiter" expanded and opened 2 theatres, an open-air cinema, a gallery, a brewery, a bar and a space for concerts in Haus Zukunft at Ostkreuz. Ever since the “Kino Troika” provides East Berlin with art house, trash, children’s cinema, and self-brewed beer.
