  9. 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.

  12. 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.

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.
