The shelves, sectioned by nationality, display world cinema and classic movies as well as new art house, like the Italian I Am Love. The staff recommendation shelf is popular with the 17,000 members (80-200 rent on a daily basis), as is the €1.70 latte they can enjoy in the small café while pondering their selection. Rentals are €1.60 per film per business day (movies rented after 11pm are free the first day). But it’s Filmkunst’s subscription offer that draws the serious cineastes: for €20 per month, you can rent films for free everyday.
When the store expands this year, there will also be film screenings and other events – as well as room for vintage film projectors and the more than 2,000 8mm film reels for rent.
