Cinemas
Our 100 years bringing cinema, the seventh art, to the citizens of San Sebastian have made us understand that it is a powerful tool to promote culture and community. We are much more than a film theatre; we are a vibrant centre of activity that hosts festivals, film seasons, forums and presentations that make life in our city more exciting.
We manage our cinemas effectively to obtain optimal results
At Sade Cinemas we take enjoyment very seriously. That’s why, in addition to offering a high quality, diverse and original programme, we strive to make this a profitable business. And the numbers back us up.

Local cinemas
Located in the centre of Donostia, our cinemas are much more than just theatres and seats, they are part of the cultural scene of our city, meeting places for local residents, and also places that people want to visit.
Príncipe cinema
Located in the Old Town, it is the most popular of our cinemas. With 10 screens and more than 1,400 seats, it offers a programme for all audiences, without forgetting new formats such as the Musiclassic Opera programme or the Art Screenings season.
Trueba cinema
The benchmark for auteur and original version cinema in Donostia. Home of the Kresala Film Club, it also hosts several film seasons (anime, opera, ballet, etc.) and three festivals: Dock of the Bay (musical documentary film), Begiradak (amateur film) and Zinetika (dance and performance).
Antiguo Berri cinema
In the Antiguo neighbourhood, the 8 screens of this cinema offer a wide and popular programme, from the highest-grossing titles to more daring independent or original version proposals.

We have been with the SSIFF since its beginnings, more than 70 years ago. And we are very proud of it. We have seen it all: a very young Almodóvar nervous about his first premiere; Querejeta spying on the screening from the booth; and Lacuesta collecting two golds. And in 2022 they gave us an honorary Silver Shell. And we are also very proud of that. Urte askoan!
