Summer cinema under the open sky: A Bigger Splash at the Flingern-Lichtspiele
On Saturday, August 8, 2026, the terrace behind the Filmwerkstatt Düsseldorf will transform into an atmospheric open-air stage for a film classic. A Bigger Splash is part of the Flingern-Lichtspiele, which brings summer cinema flair to Flingern on eight evenings in August, on Thursdays and Saturdays.
An evening with art, summer light, and special audience atmosphere
As twilight falls over Düsseldorf and the projection starts after dark, the exact event atmosphere that makes open-air cinema so beloved is created: relaxed conversations, folding and reclining chairs, a bar, and the feeling of being in the city yet very close to a special event experience. Entry begins at 9:00 PM, and seating is limited.
A film that connects art history and cinematic experience
A Bigger Splash delves into the London and international art scene of the early 1970s. The film tells the story of David Hockney, personal crisis, creative tension, and the fluid transition between documentary and staging. This blend makes the evening appealing to film fans, art enthusiasts, and lovers of demanding arthouse cinemas.
Open-air cinema with clear organization and summer charm
The Flingern-Lichtspiele focus on a consciously reduced but high-quality concept: film enjoyment on the terrace behind the building, weather option inside, and a free admission model with the possibility for donations. This appeals to a broad audience, from cinephiles to anyone seeking a relaxed summer evening with cultural value.
Filmwerkstatt Düsseldorf as a cultural anchor in Flingern
The Filmwerkstatt Düsseldorf has been operating as a non-profit association since 1976 and has emerged from the film group Düsseldorf at the Art Academy. Today, it stands for promoting new film talent, cultural events, and professional event planning in an environment strongly connected to the Düsseldorf film scene.
Conclusion: An evening for everyone who wants to experience cinema, not just watch it
At the Flingern-Lichtspiele, summer air meets arthouse cinema, art meets backdrop, and relaxed open-air atmosphere meets a cult-status film. Those seeking special cinema moments will experience an evening that resonates long after. Mark the date now and enjoy A Bigger Splash live in Düsseldorf.
