LAB -1

We are LAB-1: films, friends, and events in the heart of Eindhoven. An independent cinema and event space, a coffee spot by day, and a bar by night.

We are a home for internationals and locals, and a place to stay moved. At LAB-1 you can experience films, live music, exhibitions, parties and events in 1 building! LAB-1 stands for retro, coziness, dynamism and creativity, a place to enjoy, hang out and feel at home. In LAB-1 you can work, play games, chill or relax in the evening with a drink in our cinema bar. You can watch the best Hollywood,

music films, art-house, classic and documentary films in one of our five cinemas and attend a comedy night, concert or event in our event room. For the best parties you can go to the club on the second floor and at the same time you go one floor higher to attend one of our film marathons. We are much more than a cinema. A place to amaze yourself! In 2014, LAB-1 was temporarily located in the abandoned building of Philips Physical laboratory on STRIJP-S. And in 2017, LAB-1 was temporarily located in the oldest building of Eindhoven: the Mariënhage monastery. In 2018 we took over the former Euro Cinema/cinema at the Keizersgracht 19 in Eindhoven! The doors were opened In February 2019. This will be our permanent place, we hope to see you soon in our new spot! http://www.lab-1.nl - [email protected]

Win the book behind Un anno di scuola! 🎬🇮🇹

Laura Samani’s Un anno di scuola takes us to a high school in Trieste in the early 2000s. The film is loosely inspired by Giani Stuparich’s 1929 novel, which Samani first read at the very same school, when she was the same age as its characters.

Now you can get the book that inspired it! ✨

Let us know in the comment: If you could choose any decade to go to high school in, which would it be, and why?

Share your answer in the comments before Friday 4 September at 12:00 for a chance to win!

What’s new at LAB-1 this week?🌟

Hundreds of Beavers - Made with almost no dialogue and a tiny budget, this black-and-white surreal slapstick follows a 19th-century applejack salesman taking on an army of increasingly ridiculous beavers.

Un Anno di Scuola - A story first written in 1929 gets a new life on screen, now set in 1980s Trieste, where a new female student joins an all-boys class and quickly disrupts the dynamics between her classmates.

Les Parapluies de Cherbourg - Every line is sung in Jacques Demy’s colourful 1964 classic, turning an ordinary love story into a bittersweet musical about young love, separation, and the lives we end up choosing.

Below the Clouds - Beneath Mount Vesuvius, archaeologists uncover Roman ruins while firefighters explore secret tunnels. Gianfranco Rosi captures a Naples that lives with the volcano’s ever-present threat.

Peter Hujar’s Day - On December 9, 1974, photographer Peter Hujar spent a day talking with writer Linda Rosenkrantz about his life, work, and the characters of New York’s downtown art scene. The result is an unusually intimate portrait built almost entirely from one day of talking.

Trainspotting is back, loud and alive! 💥 Black humour, pure 90s rebellion and a legendary soundtrack - Danny Boyle’s cult classic is back on the big screen at LAB-1. 🎬

20/08/2026

What’s new at LAB-1 this week?🌟

Trainspotting - Danny Boyle's 1996 classic follows a group of friends caught between addiction, boredom, and the desire to escape Edinburgh, all set to one of the most iconic soundtracks of the decade. It gets a new life for its 30th anniversary!

Kontinental '25 - After a housing eviction in Cluj, a social worker is left questioning where personal responsibility ends and a broken system begins, in Radu Jude's darkly funny look at contemporary Romania.

Teenage S*x and Death at Camp Miasma - A summer camp, teenage desire, and a mysterious threat make for a particularly bad holiday. This q***r body-horror comedy gives the classic teen-camp movie a very strange makeover.

Sehnsucht in Sangerhausen - In a small German town, a group of people deal with work, relationships, and the feeling that life might be passing them by, in a quietly funny portrait of contemporary rural Germany.

Cría Cuervos - Fifty years after its release, Carlos Saura's haunting portrait of childhood and Francoist Spain remains unsettling, following a young girl whose memories and fantasies begin to blur.

We’re bee-friendly! 🐝🌼

Matthew McConaughey might not be playing the most important role in The Rivals of Amziah King. Could the real stars be the bees? 🐝 Anyway, we’re giving away bee-friendly flower seeds at the LAB-1 entrance!

The Rivals of Amziah King is a wildly unpredictable slice of Americana, mixing beekeeping, bluegrass, eccentric small-town characters, family drama and a surprisingly dangerous honey business.

Pick up some seeds when you visit us, plant them at home and give the local bees a helping hand. 🌼🐝
