Since 1984 the Xenix has shown carefully chosen films in a former school building on the Kanzleiareal, off the Langstrasse: mainstream premieres, new directors and themed seasons, in 111 seats including 12 sofas. Its bar is open daily, the gravel square outside is a favourite place for boule and an after-work drink, and in summer there are open-air screenings.
