Cinema Lumière, Brugge

Cinema Lumière, located in the enchanting city of Bruges, stands as a beacon for art house cinema enthusiasts. Nestled down the quaint, medieval-looking Boterhuis street, this cozy cinema forms part of the Lumière Group—a conglomerate that includes production, film funding, distribution, and an animation studio, all working synergistically across four in-house cinemas in various cities to deliver captivating narratives to the Benelux audience.

Cinema Lumière Bruges is an intimate venue boasting four screening rooms. The cinema's arrangement includes the Blue Room with 174 seats, the Red Room with 76 seats, the Green Room with 60 seats, and a fourth screen introduced in 2014 which accommodates 45 viewers. All rooms were digitally upgraded in 2011, ensuring a high-quality film-viewing experience.

A unique feature of Cinema Lumière is its connection to De Republiek, a grand café where filmgoers can discuss the latest movies by directors like Pedro Almodóvar or David Fincher over a drink. This seamless transition from film to café enhances the cinematic experience, making it a cherished routine for the locals and visitors alike.

The cinema also plays a pivotal role in the cultural landscape of Bruges, hosting the annual MOOOV Film Festival, which further solidifies its reputation as a central hub for cinema lovers. Since 1999, it has been a proud member of the Europa Cinemas Group, emphasizing its commitment to a diverse selection of films that cater to a broad audience.
