Overview

  • The open-air event runs from June 19 to August 24 and will showcase 91 films alongside 12 concerts, including four performances of Roland Kaiser’s Kaisermania.
  • Baufirma Hentschke has agreed to halt Carolabrücke demolition work during all screenings and concerts to minimise noise and dust.
  • A redesigned safety concept shifts the main entrance to the west bank, restricts access near the bridge and maintains a VIP entry on the east side.
  • The upper terrace has been enlarged by more than 100 square metres to increase capacity and improve spectator comfort.
  • Advance tickets are now €12.50 with a €3.50 Monday discount, and enhanced security measures have added roughly €100,000 to the festival budget.
