Bíó Paradís, meaning "Cinema Paradise," is Reykjavík’s only arthouse cinema and a key cultural venue in Iceland. It opened in 2010 as the successor to the former Regnboginn cinema, which had operated from 1977 to 2009. Run by a non-profit organization supported by Iceland’s film industry, Bíó Paradís focuses on independent and international films, making it a popular spot for film lovers and industry professionals alike.

Located on Hverfisgata in downtown Reykjavík, Bíó Paradís has four screening rooms of different sizes, with the largest seating around 200 guests. The cinema offers a wide range of films including European and Icelandic productions, documentaries, cult classics, and experimental movies. It is also known for hosting major film festivals such as the Reykjavík International Film Festival, the Stockfish Film Festival, and Reykjavík Short Film Days, and it provides educational programs aimed at promoting film literacy among schoolchildren.

Besides film screenings, Bíó Paradís features a cozy café and bar where visitors can relax before or after watching a movie. The cinema is committed to accessibility and continually works to improve its facilities for all guests. With its dedication to diverse programming and community engagement, Bíó Paradís remains a vibrant and essential part of Reykjavík’s cultural scene.
