De Cinema
De Cinema is a collaboration between M HKA and De Studio: a place in Antwerp where film, in all its richness and diversity, takes centre stage. With an extensive film archive, two theatres and projection in both analogue (35mm) and digital (4K) formats, De Cinema presents a curated programme of film classics, new films, documentaries, family screenings and special series.
As the film arm of M HKA, De Cinema aims not only to screen films, but also to create connections: between makers and audiences, between generations, and between film history and contemporary cinema.
For cinephiles, makers and families
De Cinema is an inclusive meeting place for cinephiles, emerging makers and diverse audiences. Alongside classics from film history, there is also room for contemporary cinema, hidden gems and new perspectives.
Families also find their way to De Cinema. During the official school holidays, there is a programme tailored to young film fans, with family screenings for children and their parents or grandparents.
