Art Cinema in Art Zone: Inside-Out Cinema

Compared with the cinemas above, Inside-out Cinema is quite distinctive. Located in Inside-Out Art Zone, it houses Inside-Out Theatre, Inside-Out Cinema, as well as Inside-Out Art Museum, and it is China’s first cinema in an art-oriented complex. Inside-out Cinema, opened in March 2014, is a very young cinema. According to its current screening schedule, every day Inside-out Cinema not only plays the movies recently released, but also screens a movie which is no longer showing in other cinemas.

Although not big, the cinema is permeated with a great atmosphere of art. The posters of dramas that are playing here are stuck on both sidewalls of the corridor, all the way from the booking office to screening rooms. Now you may see Monroe’s five portraits in the 50s, a goddess at that time. Besides, in an open area outside the cinema, there are some outdoor stands, enabling you to watch open-air movies and artistic shows.

A National Team of Movie: China Film International Theatre (Qianxi Street)

China Film International Theatre, a brand of China Film Investment Corporation, is affiliated with China Film Co., Ltd., namely China Film Group Corporation (CFGC). CFGC is the only company that owns legal film import rights in China, and thus it is also called “National Team” and “Professional Team” in the film industry.

Listed as an art screening room of the “National Art Film Screening League”, China Film International Theatre (Qianxi Street) located in Fengtai District is a rare art screening room in southern Beijing. People live or work around here are the target customers; they no longer need to cross the city just to watch art movies.
