The industry-run promotion seeks to boost attendance after a slight FFA-reported decline in Thuringia ticket sales last year.

Overview

  • Participating theaters sell €5 tickets for screenings on Saturday and Sunday, according to HDF Kino.
  • More than ten venues in Thuringia are taking part, including cinemas in Nordhausen, Suhl, Jena, Gotha and Erfurt.
  • Programs include classics, advance previews and current releases, with titles such as "22 Bahnen" and "Das Kanu des Manitu."
  • The event is organized by film industry associations led by HDF Kino, which represents cinema operators.
