Open Air Summer Cinema: A Loose End at the Flingern-Lichtspiele

On Thursday, August 6, 2026, the terrace behind the Filmwerkstatt Düsseldorf will be transformed into an atmospheric open-air cinema. The Flingern-Lichtspiele will screen A Loose End, a 95-minute film in OV with subtitles, bringing Daniel Hendler's unique mix of western, thriller, and romantic comedy to the summer screen.

An evening of atmosphere, film art, and late evening glow

The Flingern-Lichtspiele stand for a relaxed event experience with a clear stance: summery audience vibe, open cinema culture, and a place where film is not just shown but experienced together. Doors open at 9:00 PM, and the screening begins after dark. Folding chairs, lounge chairs, a bar, and a view of the evening sky create the perfect ambiance that makes open-air cinema so special.

The film: dry, warm-hearted, and surprisingly multi-layered

A Loose End tells the story of Santiago, an Argentine policeman on the run, who tries to make his way through Uruguay with humor, warmth, and improvisation. Between border crossings, culinary observations, and a special encounter, a road movie develops with a unique tone. Daniel Hendler combines dry humor with tension and romantic longing in his third feature film – a combination that perfectly suits a summer evening at the cinema.

Open-Air Charm in Flingern

The Filmwerkstatt Düsseldorf will show a total of eight films on the terrace behind the building in August. The concept is intentionally approachable and cinematic: those who sit here do not experience an anonymous mass event but a curated cinema format with a personal touch. In case of rain, the screenings will move indoors. Seats are limited, adding a pleasant exclusivity to the evening.

Organization with Character

The Filmwerkstatt Düsseldorf has been a staple in the Düsseldorf film scene for decades. The nonprofit organization was founded in 1976 and sees itself as a place for promoting young cinematic talent, cultural work, and technical as well as content-related engagement with the medium of film. This experience also shapes the Flingern-Lichtspiele: careful program selection, clear processes, and an audience that craves sophisticated cinema under the open sky.

Conclusion: A summer evening for film fans and explorers

A Loose End at the Flingern-Lichtspiele promises an atmospheric cinema evening with character: Open Air, curated, free of charge with the possibility to donate. Those who appreciate summer, film art, and a special audience atmosphere should mark this date and be there live.
