Kino Caisa
Kino Caisa is Caisa’s very own cinema! Our screenings feature carefully selected films that explore the diversity of the human experience from different perspectives.

The films tell the stories of people who are not typically in the spotlight – or whose creators are members of a minority themselves. People from sexual and gender minorities, people with disabilities, neurodivergent individuals and ethnic minorities are all represented.

Alongside inclusion and diversity, Kino Caisa’s film selection is defined by artistic ambition and high quality. The stories that fill the screen are captivating, thought-provoking, touching and foster empathy and understanding of our fellow human beings.

The films are in English, either spoken or subtitled.
