Cinema Nova
Cinéma Nova announces itself to the street with a joyful, bric-a-brac of colour and charm. In stark contrast to the big chains, this unique cinema advocates an alternative and eclectic approach, a singular and unconventional spirit that has earned it a reputation that has transcended borders.
Still in its original state, the large hall displays a singular charm with its decrepit walls, balcony, small orchestra pit and incredible ceiling. On the programming side, Nova screens both feature-length films and medium or short films, sometimes experimental and often rare. It's the ideal place for a different kind of audiovisual experience in a new setting!

Cinéma Aventure
Hidden away down the bustling streets of the city centre (in the Galerie du Centre), the Aventure is just a short walk from Place de la Monnaie. It devotes its screens to an eclectic programme where mainstream and auteur films live in harmony. It is said that King Baudouin, a great lover of film, liked to frequent it! People go to the Aventure for its rich documentary programme, but also to watch and rewatch films months after they have disappeared from the billboards of big cinemas.
Fully renovated in early 2010, this small cinema dressed in velvet offers a cosy atmosphere underlined by subdued surroundings. The bar lets you have a drink while waiting for your screening or even sip your drink while watching your film - rare enough to merit a mention!

Cinéma Vendôme
A temple of cinema in the heart of Matonge, the Vendôme cinema has been welcoming generations of film aficionados to its screening rooms for over 50 years. Many remember its legendary ushers.
True to its beautiful slogan, "Cultivate emotion", this Brussels institution stands for auteur films and cultural diversity, above all. A pioneer of quality cinema, the Vendôme has made the success of many films that have entered into film legend (such as Satyricon or Last Tango in Paris). In the 1970s, its new screening rooms were inaugurated by Sophia Loren herself! A move and a handful of years later, the spirit of discovery and the family atmosphere of the Vendôme are still in full swing at 18 Chaussée de Wavre.
At the cinema, comfort is king. At Le Vendôme, savour the pleasures of the Seventh Art from the depths of a Pullman chair.

Cinéma Palace
A new spot for art house films, local food and events in the center of Brussels.
A CINEMA FOR EVERYONE
Palace is intended to cater for everyone, from film buffs to professionals, along with visitors whose occasional trips to the cinema form part of a full programme comprising a dinner and a movie, followed by a drink to round off the evening.
Palace will open its doors to all the communities who breathe life into the centre of the city : the multicultural populations in the southern district, the schoolchildren in the Lower Town and the associative actors who see the cinema as a permanent force for education. And, as its entire infrastructure has been designed to welcome everyone without exception, Palace also invites visitors with limited mobility to experience the magic of the “Seventh Art”, ensuring that they have
unrestricted access.
