The Film Nights on the banks of the Elbe in Dresden will be welcoming audiences again from Thursday evening. "Perfect Days", Wim Wenders' film about a toilet cleaner in Japan, will kick things off. Around 100 films will flicker across the giant screen in front of the baroque Old Town backdrop at the open-air event, almost a third of them in the family cinema. The summer cinema will be sticking to some classics, including concerts and the "Dirty Dancing Night". For the first time since 2019, midnight cinema will be offered again.
The line-up ranges from movie hits such as "The Big Lebowksi" or "Thelma & Louise" to new Hollywood releases such as "Poor Things" or "Barbie". Also included: the new tragicomedy "Falling Leaves" by Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki and the premiere of the German comedy "Two to One", based on a true story from the time of reunification in Thuringia. The documentary feature film "Caspar David Friedrich - Limits of Time" by Peter Schamoni will be shown alongside the major Dresden art exhibition to mark the 250th anniversary of the German Romantic painter's birth.
