"Film Festivals At The Old Embassy This beautiful 1920s colonial-style home was once home to the American consulate and later embassy until diplomatic ties were severed in 1979. The stately residence has been revived though and today is home to one of the most innovative theaters in Taipei, SPOT–the Taipei Film House. Forget the blockbusters, SPOT specializes in unique, obscure and hard to find films which they show every day of the week. More than just great flicks, there is also a cafe and small shop featuring film related books and merchandise. For a true art house experience, be sure to catch one of the many film festivals hosted at SPOT."

Spot - Taipei Film House is a stunning blend of Western elegance and cinematic charm. Its white-walled façade and graceful Greek-style columns encircle a grand central staircase, creating a timeless atmosphere. Once a historic building, it now thrives as a vibrant cultural hub celebrating film. Inside, you’ll find an intimate cinema, a thoughtful art gallery, a cozy restaurant, and a bookstore filled with treasures on cinema and urban life—a true haven for movie and culture lovers.

This restaurant is poor in service. They can't make any changes to the food they serve. Even when your health request certain diet, they are unable to customize for your doctor's requirements. I had to eat some where else. 😣

Nice place overall. I didn’t see the exhibition itself, just visited the shop — great architecture and worth seeing from the outside too. The garden café is lovely, but be careful with mosquitoes; they’re quite active (there’s mosquito spray available on site)

Love this movie house, it has so much character and the neighborhood is so cool.

On a nice day, I was looking for a spot around Zhongshan where I could sit outdoors and enjoy a hot coffee. This place ended up being one of my choices. To be honest, I love the setting—it’s located inside an old house and right next to a movie theater. The coffee isn’t bad, but it could be better (it’s a bit too bitter for my taste). Otherwise, this place would be perfect!

A small indie cinema with a collection of critically acclaimed foreign and Taiwanese films that you can buy as a DVD. I watched Yi Yi here and the film was a wonderful experience. Would recommend coming 15 min early because it's free seating and the theatre is rather small.

Nice, cozy place for coffee time! With a great garden outside of the beautiful green trees.

Terrific selection of old art films! Very friendly staff and comfortable classic cinema setup. A refuge for those who wish to steer clear of commercial movie theatres. It’s also got a scenic outdoor arena and a nice little cafe upstairs.

It's a special place and unique coffee shop. Not only it offers nice cup of coffee but also the little movie theatre it attached to it. Not sure about the service staff though. It also hard to have calm and cool conversation when the neighboring loud customers. That's probably the only two down points. Cheese cake was quite nice. I always enjoyed watching movie next door. Some fond memories here;)

[TIP] Get an annual membership for the arthouse cinema! Gorgeous historical landmark that was once the residence of American diplomat in Taiwan. I love the outdoor garden seating for cooler evenings, or to relax with a book on the 2F balcony. The lounge / meeting room is available for rental, and I've attended a few World Design Capital Taipei events here. Check-in regularly for indie / arthouse film schedule!
