Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he's going, or why.

  6. Und es war Sommer - Dieter Thomas Kuhn & Band

    What began in the 1990s as an ironic pop project among friends in Tübingen evolved over the decades into a cross-generational cult phenomenon: Dieter Thomas Kuhn & Band. In the summer of 2024, the film follows the eight-piece band on their major open-air tour across Germany—in front of thousands of fans with sunflowers, glitter, and fake chest hair toupees.

    Hands off Mississippi

    Full of anticipation, ten-year-old Emma goes on vacation to her grandma Dolly in the country. Once there, however, the girl learns that old Klipperbusch has died - and his money-hungry nephew Albert is already in the process of converting the inherited estate for profit. And anything he can't use for this is thrown out without further ado. At least Emma manages to save Klipperbusch's beloved mare Mississippi from the slaughterhouse at the last minute: she persuades her grandmother to buy the horse from Albert. Emma is now a proud horse owner. She is all the more surprised when Albert turns up at her door one day and desperately wants Mississippi back. It's clear to Emma and her friends that this guy can't be up to no good...

    An entire generation of Germans was raised on male comedians. But what about their female counterparts? Maren Kroymann, Hella von Sinnen, Bettina Böttinger, Esther Schweins, and Gaby Köster look back at the way women were portrayed on TV in the 1990s and early 2000s, when jokes at women’s expense were the order of the day.

Frequently asked01 — 07

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).
