    A family portrait in which the director profiles his grandmother, Odette Robert. Eustache includes in the film the conditions of its production — he is seated at the table with her, pours her some whiskey, speaks with the camera operator, manipulates the clapboard at the head and tail of the reels, and even takes a phone call. Robert, who was seventy-one, speaks rapidly and tells the story of her life, starting from her early childhood in villages in the Bordeaux region of France. A shorter version of the film ("Odette Robert") was edited in 1980 to be broadcast on television on TF1. The complete film only gained exposure in 2002, when it was salvaged by Boris Eustache, Thierry Lounas, João Bénard da Costa, Jean-Marie Straub, and Pedro Costa.

Featuring the only pro-shot footage of Papa V Perpetua and his band of Nameless Ghouls from the phone-free SKELETOUR, 2 BIG TO RIG immerses the audience in the GHOST live ritual, including exclusive behind-the-scenes and backstage access. 2 BIG TO RIG was created to share the SKELETOUR experience with the faithful in the territories where staging the show was not logistically feasible — and is a love letter to all those who have shared the GHOST ritual. Shot on 16mm film, GHOST has never looked or sounded better, ripping through material from the band's six albums — including 2025’s global #1 SKELETÁ as well as non-LP favorites including “Mary On A Cross,” “Kiss the Go-Goat,” and “The Future is a Foreign Land.”

  93. Ostpreußen – Entschwundene Welt

    East Prussia – A Vanished World is a documentary for the big screen, 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.

    Captured live over the course of GHOST’s two sold-out shows in Mexico City last year, 2 BIG TO RIG is the definitive document of the band's unforgettable SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR, presented in IMAX® in select locations. Featuring the only pro-shot footage of Papa V Perpetua and his band of Nameless Ghouls from the phone-free SKELETOUR, 2 BIG TO RIG immerses the audience in the GHOST live ritual, including exclusive behind-the-scenes and backstage access. 2 BIG TO RIG was created to share the SKELETOUR experience with the faithful in the territories where staging the show was not logistically feasible — and is a love letter to all those who have shared the GHOST ritual. Shot on 16mm film, GHOST has never looked or sounded better, ripping through material from the band's six albums — including 2025’s global #1 SKELETÁ as well as non-LP favorites including “Mary On A Cross,” “Kiss the Go-Goat,” and “The Future is a Foreign Land.”

Frequently asked01 — 07

Which cinemas are covered?

Currently 19 cinemas and film series in Hamburg and the surrounding area: Zeise Kinos, SchanzenKino 73, Magazin Filmkunsttheater, Abaton, Metropolis Kino, ASTOR Film Lounge HafenCity, Savoy Filmtheater, Koralle Lichtspiele, Studio Kino, Hansa-Filmstudio, Filmraum, Passage Kino Hamburg, Blankeneser Kino, 3001 Kino, Alabama Kino, Zeise Open Air, Elbe Filmtheater, Botschaft der Wildtiere and Sommerkino Alsterdorf.

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?

Hamburg has a lively repertory-cinema scene — the Abaton, the municipal Metropolis, the 3001, the Zeise cinemas, the Studio-Kino and the Savoy — 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).
