It was a real treat! Exactly three weeks ago, our 2026 Open-Air Cinema came to a close, bringing to an end two wonderful weekends full of magical movie moments!

The projectors have been retrieved from the attic and set up, the popcorn machine preheated, the screen rolled out, and we’ve done a big shopping run at Metro using Stadtmobil. That can only mean one thing: it’s time for open-air cinema!

Check out our program trailer that offers a glimpse into our diverse selection of films.

As part of the seminar “Susan Sontag: Seeing and Being Seen,” which explores Sontag’s reflections on visibility, self-presentation, and representation, we will screen Sontag’s debut film Duett för kannibaler (1969), followed by an open discussion.

In exactly one month, it’s finally that time again!
We invite you to the seventh Open Air Cinema on the lawn in front of the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design and the ZKM from June 12–15 and June 18–22, 2026. For nine summer evenings, the green space between the university and the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office will be transformed into an atmospheric open-air cinema.
