Top-tier Film Screened: Iconic Motion Pictures Heading to Berlin Cinemas this Summer Season
In the heart of Berlin, the curated screening series, Best of Cinema, is set to make a comeback this summer. Initiated during the pandemic in collaboration with local cinemas seeking content, this series aims to bring a variety of classic and must-see films back to the big screens.
Sarah Klement, the Senior Publicity Manager, and Edda Rosenfeld, the Senior Product Manager, are the driving forces behind this initiative. They have fond memories of Berlin's cinema culture and appreciate the versatility of the city's cinematic landscape.
One of the upcoming screenings includes the timeless classic, The Great Dictator, by Charlie Chaplin. This film, the oldest in the Best of Cinema series, remains relevant today and will be screened on the same day as the US elections.
Another highly anticipated film in the summer's slate is Kathryn Bigelow's Point Break, newly restored in 4K.
In addition, The Outrun, based on the powerful memoir by Amy Liptrot and featuring Saoirse Ronan, is a film that Edda Rosenfeld is eagerly looking forward to.
The Best of Cinema series does not seem to have a specific theme this summer. However, the goal remains the same: to recreate the cinema experience for viewers, even if only for a day.
For those interested in a curated film series like Best of Cinema, it might be worth checking directly with popular Berlin cinemas or cultural venues such as Kino International, Babylon Berlin, or Arsenal Kino, as these often host retrospectives and special series.
Berlin's cinematic landscape offers diversity, with theaters for blockbusters, original language screenings, and film classics. One of Edda Rosenfeld's favorite cinemas in Berlin is Neues Off in Neukölln, where the toilets are conveniently located inside the screening room.
Sarah Klement has fond memories of the 4K premiere of Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire at Kino International during the 2017 Berlinale.
While there are mentions of various film and cultural events in Berlin this summer, such as the Berlinale International Film Festival awards and open-air events, no concrete schedule or venues for a "Best of Cinema" series in Berlin cinemas have been announced yet.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Best of Cinema series screening schedules across Berlin kinos this summer 2025.
