See the Stars beneath the Stars in Berlin’s Open Air Cinema

There is Berlin, and there is Berlin in summer. After months of cold and dark, Berlin residents open their doors, take out the tables and chairs and begin to enjoy the good weather like people in very few places know how to do. One fun example is open air cinema, something of a tradition in Berlin. One of the oldest and most widely known of these open air cinemas is called Freiluftkino which can be found in the bohemian neighbourhood of Kreuzberg.

Every year the Freiluftkino projects the best of domestic and international films, new releases and classics at very accessible tickets in the most comfortable environment you can imagine- outdoors on a warm summer’s night! This year’s season begins the 30th of April with a screening of the movie “Neukölln Unlimited” (2010) a re-examination of the new multicultural reality of Berlin, hip-hop and immigration, and will finish the cycle the 30th of June with a screening of “Shutter Island”

Stand-out movies from this year’s programme include Lars von Trier´s Antichrist, Tarantino´s Inglorious Bastards, Lee Daniels´ Push and even the must-see Avatar. This is the perfect chance to see all the important films of the year you haven’t had a chance to see, as well as all the prize-winners of Deutscher Filmpreis. All films will be screened in their original language with subtitles in German, and German films will be screened with English subtitles.

To get to the Freiluftkino Kreuzberg you can take the underground to the stop U- Bahn Kottbusser Tor. Normal ticket prices are 6.50 euros, but bonus packs are also available if you want even cheaper tickets. For more information on programming check out the web page: www.freiluftkino-kreuzberg.de

If you have never had the pleasure of seeing a movie at an open air theatre, we can say that you still really haven’t lived. Few things are as romantic as a night of dinner, German beer and open-air cinema. If you rent apartments in Berlin, you can see for yourself. Come and enjoy this great tradition which joins cinephilia with the pure pleasure of being caressed by a gentle summer breeze.
