Kinofest 2023: Five euros for film fans in more than 600 cinemas!

This weekend a special event for film fans will take place in Germany: hundreds of cinemas throughout the country will open their doors and offer film screenings for just five euros. This event, which is known as a cinema festival, will be aligned for the third time and attracts with attractive offers. Over 600 film theater take part in the campaign, including about 30 cinemas in Berlin.

Christine Berg, the managing director of the main association of German Filmtheater (HDF Kino), commented on the goals of the movie: "With the movie we not only want to reach all age groups, but above all those who have not been in the cinema for a long time." This illustrates the wish of the cinema operators to address a broad audience and make the go to go to the cinema again.

offers and surprises

The cinemas have considered a varied program for the movie. This not only shows new films, but also brought to life classics on the big screen. Some cinemas even offer special extras such as sparkling wine and have put together special programs for children. It is also interesting that some films are presented before their official theatrical release, including the film work "Treasure" by Julia von Heinz, with well -known actors such as Lena Dunham and Stephen Fry.

The rush to the movie could be great. Last year, the film screenings attracted around 932,000 visitors to the cinema halls. When the movie took place for the first time in 2022, they even counted about 1.1 million visitors, which underlines the high demand and the interest in such cheap offers.

In a context in which ticket prices rise and alternatives to entertainment are sought, the cinema festival tries to counteract the challenges of the market. By the end of August 2023, around 53.5 million tickets were sold at the German box office, which is about 8.7 million fewer than in the same period of the previous year, where around 62.2 million tickets were sold. The decline is partly due to the effects of the Hollywood strike last year, which also led to shifts in the publication dates of larger films.

The operators see events such as this movie to not only increase the number of visitors, but also to promote the desire for the cinema as a shared form of experience. The linking of price advantages and a varied film offer aims to establish cinema again as a social event, which is of great importance in view of the current situation.

The cinema festival not only offers an opportunity to watch films, but also an incentive to go to the cinema - especially for those who may not have been there recently. It remains exciting how many spectators can be attracted by the offers this year and whether the event can set a record again.
