  2. Ingeborg Bachmann – Jemand, der einmal ich war

    Sandra Hüller portrays Ingeborg Bachmann on an imaginary day in Rome. Regina Schilling’s hybrid film weaves together reenactments, archival footage, and Bachmann’s own writings into a portrait that offers a refreshing new perspective on the author and positions her writings as a reference point in current debates on gender relations and power.

  3. 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.

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.
