Culture - Hood - Technology Park Berlin Adlershof

Adlershof, a place that exists this and beyond the railroad tracks, between history and high technology. On one side: the old district with historic buildings, a long history and established cultural scene. On the other side: the area of the former Adlershof Johannisthal airfield.

Even there, where a modern technology park with new residential areas and residents has grown in the last 30 years, dedicated cultural workers ensure a varied range of events and exhibitions.

Culture x Science at Work at the Adlershof Technology Park will make it happen. This summer, WISTA Management GmbH, in collaboration with the Hörsaal Kino Adlershof, invites you to an open-air cinema under the Adlershof night sky.

3 evenings, 3 films

Biopic, science fiction or showbiz drama?

Decide for yourself, because over three evenings (25 August, 2 September and 8 September) we’ll be screening three completely different films: “Hidden Figures”, “Arrival” and “The Greatest Showman”. The films will be shown in their original versions with German subtitles. We’ll get you in the mood for each film with a short, entertaining or informative pre-show.

Where? In the backyard behind the WISTA main building, entrance via Volmerstraße 2

When? Doors open from 6.30 pm, programme starts at 7/7.30 pm.

We look forward to seeing you!

August 25: Hidden Figures

Pre-programme*: Do you, like the female mathematicians in the film, enjoy maths and brain teasers? Then look forward to our competition, which we’re running in collaboration with the ‘Känguru der Mathematik’ (a maths competition for schools). At the ‘Känguru der Mathematik’ stand, you’ll find tricky arithmetic, brainteasers and puzzles to get your thinking caps on before the film starts. Anyone who solves the problems will receive a small prize.

September 2: Arrival

Pre-programme*: Together we’ll explore the fascination with alien life. An expert from the German Aerospace Centre’s Institute of Space Research gives us an insight into exoplanets and joins us on a search for life beyond earth.

September 8: The Greatest Showman

Pre-programme*: We’ll set the mood for the film with some music. Come and enjoy a special evening that combines cinema and concert: Before the film begins, the Adlershof “Studi-Big-Band am Campus” will perform songs from the film and selected highlights from their own repertoire live on stage – full of energy, rousing and atmospheric.

* Subject to change

Admission is free / donations welcome. All proceeds will go to Hörsaalkino Adlershof.

Your physical well-being is taken care of: Essential by Dorint Berlin will be on site with a bratwurst stall.

Please bring your own beach chairs and blankets. We have a limited supply of blankets.

“Bad weather option”: In case of drizzle or wind, the open-air cinema will move to the covered terrace of the WISTA building.
