The team from Kino im Blauen Salon has been organizing an open-air cinema since 2019. On the lawn in front of the HfG, there is a week of great films with a fun supporting program, drinks, entertaining moderation, film puzzles, etc. Usual HfG quality. The meadow is ready for your picnic blankets, deckchairs, sofas - you can get creative. In case of rain, we have to react spontaneously - just check the website for the current situation.

WHERE IS THE OPEN AIR CINEMA ?

As the title suggests, the HfG OPEN AIR CINEMA is located in front of the HfG, more precisely on the meadow between the HfG/ZKM and the Federal Prosecutor's Office.

WHAT'S GOING ON BEFORE THE FILM STARTS?

This year, too, there will be a lot going on on the lawn in front of the HfG long before the movie starts. From 8 pm, our bar and food team will be giving it their all, with drinks, snacks, fresh grilled food (all vegan too), popcorn, nachos and much more. In addition, our cool DJ team will introduce you to the world of movies every day, a kind of auditory warm-up from 8 pm! And as soon as dusk sets in, there are experimental short films to watch, presented live on the lawn by our 16mm projectionist, updated daily and accompanied by our DJ team as the mood takes you.
