The season also begins in the open-air cinema in the old town of Berlin-Spandau: on Friday, July 1, it starts with the comedy “Contra” with Christoph-Maria Herbst. On Saturday, July 2nd, the drama “House of Gucci” will be shown. The performances currently start late at 9.45 p.m. because the cinema is logically dependent on darkness.
If you’ve never been there: there are deckchairs to lounge around, cold beer and wine, hot soup, buttered pretzels and no guarantee that it will stay dry. The tickets cost 10 euros, concessions 8.50 euros and are available online: kinoheld.de. On Tuesday the canvas was scrubbed and blown up.
The cinema is located in the pedestrian zone of the old town of Spandau – in the courtyard of the old town library directly opposite the town hall, and behind it is the Colm cinema family. She also runs the small, alternative cinema next door in the Kulturhaus: here’s my story.
The two once told me in the Spandau newsletter from the Tagesspiegel: She, Julia Colm, has been making cinema for 30 years, almost 20 of them in Spandau. Her husband, Roman Colm, was there longer (“He comes from a Swabian cinema family that has been making screens shine since 1929”).
The Staakener once described the cultural relevance for the old town as follows in the newsletter: “We have long been attracting cinema lovers from the city center who would not otherwise come to Spandau. And of course, curious people from the surrounding area also come to us – Nauen, Potsdam, Falkensee.” But then came Corona, from which the cinemas also suffered so much.
