    Estação Paço

    This small, one-room screening theater (seating 64) in the Paço Imperial doesn’t offer much in the way of state-of-the-art cinema viewing. However, the excellent selection of foreign and independent films makes up for the technological shortcomings.

    Estação Botafogo

    One block from Espaço de Cinema, this small three-screen theater shows a mix of Brazilian and foreign films. The small café in front is a good place to grab a quick cafézinho (small black coffee) before the movie.
