The Rio im MedienHaus is Mülheim's only art house movie theater.
The Rio Filmtheater im MedienHaus is the only art house cinema in Mülheim. After renovation and reopening in 2009, the Rio is equipped with new technology and offers sophisticated cinematic art.
The Rio was opened in 1995. In 2007, operations at the "Kino am Fluss" had to be discontinued due to renovation work.
In October 2009, after long negotiations with the city of Mülheim, the Rio found a new home in the MedienHaus.
The Rio regularly receives awards for its outstanding annual program.
