The two Arsenal cinema auditoria (Arsenal 1 and 2) are available for rental outside of the screening times. Both are equipped with modern cinema and conference equipment and can be used for screenings, conferences, specialist presentations, promotional events and company meetings.

We are happy to help you with planning and realizing your events and provide expert technical supervision for your screenings. We can also put you in touch with our service providers if you require any additional services (cloakroom, catering, security personnel) or seminar and event rooms in the Filmhaus. If needed, we can also help ordering films. For orders from the film stock of our in-house distributor arsenal distribution we grant you special conditions.

You are welcome to visit the Arsenal in advance to get an idea of the many possibilities of our premises.

Current times availabe

Currently, construction work is taking place at the Sony Center on weekdays from 8 am to 4 pm. Rentals that are registered by the 15th of the previous month are not affected by any restrictions, as we register these events with the construction companies. For bookings at shorter notice, we can only completely exclude construction noise for the time periods after 4 pm and at weekends. Although the noise-intensive work has basically been completed, there may still be occasional disruptions during working hours. We will be happy to inform you by telephone or e-mail about the current situation and your options.

Material delivery

If you are planning a film screening, we need the material at least 72 hours before the screening. This is the necessary preparation time, especially for digital data transmissions, in order to ensure smooth preparation. Deviations from this rule require a written agreement from the projection department.
