community experience under stars

Open-Air cinemas are very popular, and not just in Passau. Think of the open-air summer night cinema of the Catholic rural youth Pürten-St. Erasmus, which took place on August 22, 2023 in Waldkraiburg. Around 200 visitors enjoyed the Bavarian comedy "Who digs the undertaker?", Which made some laugh. The members of the rural youth organized the event in community work and also ensured the necessary meals with liver chemplings and drinks. This sociable tradition has been taking place for five years and always attracts many people who want to enjoy the atmosphere.

On August 1, an open-air cinema event will also take place on the Veste Oberhaus, while a picnic open-air is planned in Vilshofen on August 13th. These events not only offer the opportunity to see good films, but also to meet in a convivial atmosphere and enjoy the mild summer evenings. A little tip: the film screening takes place even when it rains, which is why weatherproof clothing is advantageous.

For everyone who is looking forward to the summer night cinema, it should be noted that the tickets cannot be canceled. In the event of a weather -related failure or demolition, however, there is an automatic reimbursement - a service that brings a lot of relaxation. And for people with visual impairment, audio description and subtitles are offered so that everyone can enjoy the films to the fullest.

The summer night cinema is a wonderful example of how a film evening becomes a real community experience. Take the opportunity to let the unique atmosphere drive yourself outdoors and enjoy the new and classic films.
