It‘s official We are one of the 100 Greatest Cinemas in the World! Thanks Timeout World #TimeoutWorld „The 100 greatest cinemas in the world right now Classic kinos, cult film temples and fabulous picture palaces from across the planet“ BABYLON 65. Thanks to all that made it possible! They wrote: Travel back to 1920s Berlin at Babylon – an atmospheric arthouse cinema and window into the city’s short-lived Weimar-era golden age. Opened in 1929, it shows silent classics like Nosferatu and Chaplin films with live orchestra, complete with its original theatre organ. But much of Babylon’s story is hidden beneath the nostalgia. Opening just months before the Great Depression in a district shaped by Jewish communities, it housed a Nazi-era communist resistance cell, survived World War II bombings, and ran as a state-run cinema under East German rule.  How to support Babylon Kino: Munch popcorn at its free Saturday night midnight screenings.
