The open air cinema season is in full bloom and this year there seem to be so many special screenings lined up – it feel almost like a renaissance for the cinema, but under the blue sky with lots of friends and not inside a dark multiplex surrounded by strangers. We love it!
July will start with a very special pop-up open air cinema: The Audi Urban Cinema was already a huge hit in the last years and now it’s back with an amazing 3-day-program at Kulturbrauerei featuring some of the biggest cinema highlights of recent time and a couple of amazing short films by upcoming film makers. From July 1-3, 2015, you can look forward to Nightcrawler, Monsieur Claude and his Daughters, and finally Wes Anderson’s last big hit The Grand Budapest Hotel. What is going to make these open air screenings so special is not just the movie selection, but also the unusual comfort you will be enjoying these movies in: Forget the improvised beer bench and plastic chair that you know from other open air screenings. You will be watching these films out of Audi cabriolets, stacked-up shipping containers decorated like cosy living rooms, or from comfy lounge chairs on the lawn. There will of course also be drinks and snacks to make your movie experience even better and the best thing: The entrance is for free, you just register over here.
We are giving away some exclusive tickets for the extra special seat options on July 2 to see the delightful French movie Monsieur Claude and his Daughters. Find out after the jump how to win!

The first Berlinale day began with loud shouting. I had forgotten how upset people can get, when they are afraid to miss something and was completely unprepared for the rage of some Mister, who screamed loudly thinking he might not make it into the screening of Wes Andersons latest work The Grand Budapest Hotel. If he made it into the cinema after all I cannot tell you, as I was way ahead of him in the queue, but if the film was worth the fuss I will tell you after the jump…

I finally saw Moonrise Kingdom! On a massive screen, perfectly projected, the smell of popcorn surrounding me and in the company of a couple of friends. After a while of abstinence I was thrilled to be in a multiplex again, as I must admit, even though I love the arthouse theatres and do much rather support them instead of the big players, the size of the screens, the light intensity of the projectors and the guys selling ice cream from their hawker’s trays in the multiplex do have an appeal to me.
Before I get started on a debate about the various cinema experiences, let’s get to the film… Read on…

For weeks I have been planning to write about Moonrise Kingdom and Wes Anderson this week. In preparation I watched all his previous films again, read reviews and background info and watched the trailer again and again. What I forgot to do is go to the cinema. Well now it’s already Tuesday so instead of a review of Moonrise Kingdom all I can write is an introduction to Wes Andersons older pieces and promise to tell you all about his new film next week. So let’s get started on our Wes Anderson Double feature…

I love looking forward to things for weeks! The anticipation really is the better fun at times. Sometimes because the actual experience is a let down or because it simply passes so quickly you want to scream „ again again!“ just like little children do.
I try to make you excited about films here every week and just wanted to be part of the crowd again. Thus I decided to only show trailers of films that aren’t in the cinemas and I haven’t seen yet. Over the course of this year they will hopefully be theatrically released and I will keep you posted on if it was worth looking forward to…
