The Art Deco interior of the Cinemateca Distrital makes for more interesting surroundings than most of the cinemas in Bogotá, and the films shown are more adventurous than typical Hollywood blockbusters. Most of the film screenings are devoted to both national and international art films, as well as a large component of alternative cinema. The sound here is great, too, and if you’re interested in film as an artistic medium then Cinemateca Distrital will have something unique on offer. This isn’t the place for light entertainment, but with so many films being outrageously obscure the landguage barrier doesn’t prove much of a problem.
