Open Air Cinemas

From 3 July to 31 August 2025, the Zeise cinema in Hamburg invites you to an open-air cinema at Altona Town Hall. During this time, it's cinema every night again! The programme includes a colourful mix of the best films of the year, premieres, specials and classics. The sneak preview is just the thing for anyone who likes to be surprised. This open-air cinema has real seats, and the film screening takes place in all weathers; blankets can be borrowed on site. If the weather is too uncertain and you have already purchased a ticket in advance, you can alternatively attend an evening screening in the Zeise 1 cinema on the same day.

Tickets are available either in advance online or at the cinema box office in Friedensallee. For last-minute bookings, the box office always opens 30 minutes before the start of the screening. Regular admission costs €11, reduced €10, prices for special events may vary.

The Schanzenkino Open-Air takes place from 19 July to 30 August 2025. It has been an integral part of Hamburg's summer for 25 years. You can either watch the film on chairs or spread out your own blanket on the lawn. If you want to be extra cosy, you can book the guest lounge. An XXL sofa offers space for groups of up to eight people. Due to the great response last summer, two screens will be set up again this year so that there are two films to choose from each evening. Popcorn, nachos, a large selection of drinks and a pizza delivery service are also provided.

The film programme changes daily. The sound transmission works easily via wireless headphones, with which the volume can be individually adjusted. Headphones can be borrowed directly on site for a hire fee of €10.

The filmRaum invites you to an open-air cinema in the Stadtpark Eimsbüttel from 16 July to 6 September 2025. From Wednesday to Saturday, there will be a changing selection of films that can be watched on blankets or camping chairs that you bring with you. Under the motto ‘Cinema builds bridges’, the Friday screenings are free of charge for everyone. There is not only an evening screening, but also a children's and family film from around 18:00. On the other evenings, tickets are available from €10 in advance online or at the box office. Headphones are provided for the right acoustics.

The Hamburg International Short Film Festival is taking place for the 41st time this year. From 3 to 8 June, short films will be shown at various locations in the city. These include some open-air screenings in pop-up cinemas. It's definitely worth taking a look at the programme, as almost 100 different films are shown in three competitions every year. The festival centre is the POST on Kaltenkirchener Platz, while the individual film screenings are spread across various locations in the city. All locations and programme items can be found here.

Tickets are available in different variants, including single tickets (regular €9, reduced €7), 5-person tickets (regular €38, reduced €30) and other ticket variants. Visiting the Open Space exhibition is free of charge.

Every Friday evening between 25 July and 29 August 2025, the Honigfabrik cultural centre in Wilhelmsburg invites you to an open-air cinema in its cosy courtyard right on the canal. The film selection offers a colourful variety of different genres from all over the world. At the opening film ‘QUEENS’ on 25 July, enjoy Moroccan delicacies together with a cooling mint tea while following three strong women on their journey through the Atlas Mountains on the big screen.

Admission is by donation from 20:30 and all films are shown in their original language with German subtitles. In case of bad weather, the films will be shown in the auditorium.
