In-Depth Information
(Zewditu St)
This
azmari bet
rivals any in the city. It's littered with Ethiopian cultural
items and is always home to a good time.
Cinema
Cinema is more popular than ever - even pushing theatre out of most theatres. Most films
are in English or have English subtitles (some have both!).
Alliance Éthio-Française d'Addis-Abeba
( 0111-550213;
www.allianceaddis.org
; Wavel St; admission free-Birr50)
As is almost
always the case with French cultural centres, this one hosts an exciting and diverse range
of art-house films, experimental theatre, gallery exhibitions, opera and world music.
There's also a French-language library, French lessons and, for French speakers, Amharic
lessons.
CINEMA
Matti Multiplex
(

;
off Cameroon St; admission Birr50)
The multiplex cinema inside the
Edna Mall shows all the big-ticket Hollywood, Bollywood, Nollywood and local films, in-
cluding those in 3D.
CINEMA
National Theatre
( 0115-158225; Gambia St; tickets Birr20)
There is no more atmospheric place in
which to catch a film than this imposing old building. Hollywood showings are normally
fairly old.
CINEMA
Ambassador Cinema
(Ras Desta Damtew St; admission Birr20)
An institution, this central cinema puts on the
usual diet of action-packed and slightly passé Hollywood movies. Films are shown daily
in three sessions.
