  2. Ostpreußen – Entschwundene Welt

    East Prussia – A Vanished World is a documentary for the cinema, a narrative film that relies on the movie theater as a window into another era. This cinematic documentary is a pure compilation film. There are no staged scenes, no statements from eyewitnesses or experts, and no new footage. The documentary draws exclusively on film footage—and, at the beginning, on audio recordings as well. Since over 80 percent of the footage was shot by amateurs, East Prussia – A Vanished World also frequently takes on a biographical tone.

  5. Der Klang von Neuschwanstein

    Where King Ludwig II once dreamed of the union of architecture and music, great voices ring out once again today. After a long silence, Neuschwanstein is once more becoming a space for sound. Against the backdrop of Neuschwanstein Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, concerts featuring international soloists become an extraordinary experience. “The Sound of Neuschwanstein” transforms this unique place into a stage in its own right—and turns its history into a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience. “The Sound of Neuschwanstein” tells the story of a place that, like no other, embodies the fusion of art, architecture, and vision. King Ludwig II once had Neuschwanstein Castle built as a resonant stage for Richard Wagner’s music—a place where his longing for an ideal world was to be fulfilled. Yet this dream remained unfulfilled.

  13. Sophie Passmann: Pick Me Girls

    With books such as *Alte weiße Männer*, *Komplett Gänsehaut*, “Pick Me Girls,” and most recently “Wie kann sie nur?” author, host, and podcaster Sophie Passmann regularly tops the Spiegel bestseller lists and has emerged as one of the most influential feminist voices of her generation. With her love of debate and provocative style, she captivates a wide audience far beyond Germany’s borders with her sharp humor, clear stance, and keen social and political insight. Until the end of 2024, she appeared regularly at the Berliner Ensemble in the stage adaptation of her best-selling book *Pick Me Girls*—a production directed by Christina Tscharyiski. The critically acclaimed production marked her theater debut and is more than just stand-up comedy: with sharp wit and honesty, Passmann talks about self-denial, the need for male approval—and how she herself was caught right in the middle of it all.

However, his self-imposed solitude ends when curly-haired Jakob, rejecting the banking world for farming, arrives to train on the farm. Although initially cautious and tentative with each other, it is soon obvious that the unspoken sexual tension is becoming increasingly hard to resist - something a spontaneous trip to Berlin. Proving that true love can blossom in even the most unlikely of places, Harvest is as rich and rewarding as it is heart-warming.

    Kati is deaf. Florian is blind. But when they meet, a language beyond words and glances emerges—a language of closeness. Their love seems impossible to outsiders, and that is precisely why it is so overwhelming. It is not silence or darkness that stands between them, but the effort to truly understand each other—and the courage to withstand everything again and again. An intense journey full of ups and downs takes its course: two people who live and love with all their senses.

  92. Sophie Passmann: Pick Me Girls

    With books such as *Alte weiße Männer*, *Komplett Gänsehaut*, “Pick Me Girls,” and most recently “Wie kann sie nur?” author, host, and podcaster Sophie Passmann regularly tops the Spiegel bestseller lists and has emerged as one of the most influential feminist voices of her generation. With her love of debate and provocative style, she captivates a wide audience far beyond Germany’s borders with her sharp humor, clear stance, and keen social and political insight. Until the end of 2024, she appeared regularly at the Berliner Ensemble in the stage adaptation of her best-selling book *Pick Me Girls*—a production directed by Christina Tscharyiski. The critically acclaimed production marked her theater debut and is more than just stand-up comedy: with sharp wit and honesty, Passmann talks about self-denial, the need for male approval—and how she herself was caught right in the middle of it all.

How current is the programme?

Data is scraped multiple times a day directly from cinema websites. Cancellations, sold-out flags and programme changes usually surface within an hour.

Can I buy tickets here?

No — the Tickets button on each screening links directly to the cinema's own booking page. This site doesn't sell tickets and takes no commission.

What do OmU, OmeU, DF, OV, DCP, 35mm mean?

Language version: OmU = original audio with German subtitles, OmeU = original with English subtitles, DF = German-dubbed version, OV = original version with no subtitles, stumm = silent film (often with live accompaniment). Projection format: DCP = Digital Cinema Package, the digital standard in modern cinemas; 35mm / 16mm / 70mm = analogue film prints on physical stock.

What happens to screenings that have already started?

On today's view, screenings are hidden 30 minutes after their start time, so only reachable showtimes remain visible. A small note at the bottom shows how many have already begun.

Why this site?

Frankfurt has an unusually dense cinema scene — the DFF Filmmuseum, Astor, three arthouse houses, Pupille at the university, Programmkino Rex in Darmstadt, the Murnau in Wiesbaden — but no shared programme. This site lays every house onto one searchable day view.

How do push notifications work?

Subscribe via the "Push Digest" button or the footer link. Three time slots are available: morning (07:00), afternoon (17:00) and a weekly Sunday overview (09:00).
