The Delphi Filmpalast am Zoo, otherwise known as the Delphi, has been used as a location for the Berlinale almost form the beginning. Since 1981 it has been one of the main venues for the Forum programme, together with the Arsenal cinema. The Delphi-Filmpalast was built in the years after the war practically on the rubble of a former dance-hall. It was opened in 1949 by the cinema owner Walter Jonigkeit, whose aim was to make it the city's largest and most elegant cinema for premieres. Today the Delphi’s technology is state-of-the-art, whilst its interior still shines with the glory of a bygone cinematic era.
