On 13 October 1979, Initiative Kommunales Hamburg e.V. opened its cinema METROPOLIS.
The aim of the association is to provide an understanding of film and other audio-visual media as artistic and informative media to teach film history and to support practical media work as well as to put aspects of film culture into the public consciousness" according to the statutes of our association that has operated the METROPOLIS with an annual grant from the Department of Culture. And the programme concept is still relevant, even if the face of the monthly programmes has changed over the years.
