Overview
Arthouse Piccadilly is an art-house cinema in Zurich, Switzerland, and one of the venues operated under the Arthouse Kinos Zürich banner. The Arthouse group runs three Zurich cinemas — Arthouse LE PARIS, Arthouse MOVIE and Arthouse PICCADILLY — and presents itself with the tagline "Ihr Ticket zum Original" ("your ticket to the original"), signalling a programming policy built around original-language and curated film rather than mainstream dubbed releases. The website's programme filters let visitors sort by film, date, showtime, specials, cinema, festival, genre and language, with language options including Arabic, English, German, Italian and Japanese, which reflects the venue's commitment to original-version screenings. As a venue brand, Arthouse Piccadilly's "product" is the cinema experience: daily screenings of current art-house, independent and international films, plus special formats such as LunchKino (lunchtime cinema) and festival programming. The group also sells gift vouchers for its cinemas, including instant-download vouchers in denominations from CHF 20 to CHF 250 that remain valid for two years, and a "Filmdinner" package combining a film at an Arthouse cinema with a three-course menu at neighbouring Commercio-Gastronomie restaurants such as Commercio, Mère Catherine, Commihalle, Collana Bar e Caffè and Fischerstube Zürihorn. Arthouse also offers cinema rental for events, a newsletter, school-class programmes and advertising bookings. The cinema is located in Zurich and is part of the city's independent cinema landscape. Its programme mixes contemporary releases with repertory and classic titles — the site's current-films list includes works by directors such as Stanley Kubrick, Ridley Scott, Katsuhiro Ôtomo, Andreas Dresen and Paolo Virzì — and it also carries festival and event cinema, including opera and ballet transmissions. Arthouse Piccadilly is a private, locally operated cinema brand rather than a listed company, and it functions as a sub-brand within the Arthouse Kinos Zürich group.
History
Arthouse Piccadilly is a cinema in Zurich, Switzerland, and forms part of the Arthouse Kinos Zürich group, which operates three Zurich venues: Arthouse LE PARIS, Arthouse MOVIE and Arthouse PICCADILLY. The group presents itself under the slogan "Ihr Ticket zum Original" — "your ticket to the original" — and its programme interface allows visitors to sort screenings by film, date, showtime, specials, cinema, festival, genre and language, with language filters covering Arabic, English, German, Italian and Japanese. This structure reflects the venue's core identity as an original-version art-house cinema rather than a mainstream multiplex. Within the group, Arthouse Piccadilly functions as one of the three named cinema brands, each with its own screen identity and programme listings. The website's "Heute im Programm" (today's programme) section lists screenings across the venues, for example THE INVITE at Arthouse PICCADILLY, alongside films at Arthouse MOVIE such as THE ODYSSEY and A SAD AND BEAUTIFUL WORLD. The current-films catalogue spans contemporary releases and repertory titles, including 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (Stanley Kubrick), BLADE RUNNER (FINAL CUT) (Ridley Scott), AKIRA (Katsuhiro Ôtomo), ALTE LIEBE (Andreas Dresen), CINQUE SECONDI (Paolo Virzì) and DAS UNENDLICHE JETZT (Kaspar Kasics), as well as event-cinema titles such as CARMEN and COSI FAN TUTTE and family programming like ALICE IM WUNDERLAND and DER NUSSKNACKER. Beyond standard screenings, the Arthouse Kinos group offers special formats and services. These include LunchKino lunchtime screenings, festival programming, cinema rental for private and corporate events, a newsletter, school-class programmes and advertising bookings. The group also sells gift vouchers for its cinemas — instant-download vouchers in denominations of CHF 20, 30, 50, 100, 150 and 250, each valid for two years — and a Filmdinner package that combines a film at an Arthouse cinema with a three-course menu at neighbouring Commercio-Gastronomie restaurants: Commercio, Mère Catherine, Commihalle, Collana Bar e Caffè and Fischerstube Zürihorn. Vouchers for cinema visits and restaurants are sent by post, and the group also offers gift vouchers valid at all cinemas in the city of Zurich and the city of Winterthur. Arthouse Piccadilly is a private, locally operated cinema brand. It is not a listed company, and it operates as a sub-brand within the Arthouse Kinos Zürich group. Its identity is tied to Zurich's independent cinema scene and to a programming philosophy centred on original-language, curated and festival film.
