Cinephiles flock to the Danish Film Institute's cinema centre, which screens around 70 films per month, including twice-monthly classic Danish hits (with English subtitles) on Sundays. The centre also houses an extensive library of film and TV literature, a 'videotheque' with more than 1500 titles – including feature films, shorts, documentaries and TV series – as well as a shop and restaurant-cafe.
