The Filmstelle is a commission of the Association of Students of ETH (VSETH). It was founded in 1924 and has since regularly shown appealing and entertaining films. The Filmstelle sees itself as an important part of the cultural life of ETH Zurich.
Currently, all films are shown analog with a 35mm projector. Since new films have only been distributed digitally since 2010 and the 35mm films are no longer being restored and are slowly decaying, the existence of this oldest repertory cinema in Zurich is at risk. For this reason, the e-na'bel Foundation supports the Filmstelle in purchasing a new digital cinema projector.
