Open-Air Cinema in Fürth City Park (Summer 2026)

On the open-air stage, the typical city park atmosphere emerges on warm summer nights: under trees, with picnic blankets and a view of the screen. For 2026, a program window in August is expected; the final calendar will appear seasonally on the official channels.

Planning Tips

• Arrival: The city park is easily accessible by public transport and bicycle; use the VGN timetable information.
• Admission & Seating: Admission usually starts 60–90 minutes before the film begins. Own blankets or flat seat cushions are often allowed; folding chairs only if specified.
• Catering: Drinks and snacks on site or brought by yourself – please observe the current house rules.
• Weather: In uncertain weather, organizers will announce on the day of the event whether it will be postponed or if an alternative hall will be used.
• Accessibility: Accessibility varies depending on the setup; information appears in the program or on request.

Kulturforum Fürth: Courtyard Cinema and Curated Series (Summer 2026)

The courtyard of the Kulturforum offers the sheltered open-air option in a historic setting. For 2026, several film evenings in the summer months are again to be expected. In addition, the affiliated program cinema curates short film blocks and special series outside the summer as well.

How to Make the Most of the Courtyard Cinema Evenings

• Tickets: Advance sale or box office depending on the date. Reservations are only offered if explicitly mentioned in the program item.
• Start Times: Screenings typically begin after nightfall.
• Framework: Introductions, discussions, or short Q&As may be announced – an added value for all who appreciate background information.

Short Film Weekend with University Focus (June 2026)

For June 2026, a two-day short film weekend is planned in a Fürth downtown cinema. Around 15–20 short works from various film and media courses are expected to be shown – from animation and documentary to experimental forms.

Visitor Preparation

• Program Blocks: A first slot on Friday in the late afternoon/evening, a second on Saturday in the early afternoon.
• Target Audience: Open to cinephile visitors as well as curious people without prior knowledge.
• Discussions: Many university formats offer short introductions or audience discussions afterwards.

Mountain and Outdoor Short Films on Tour (2026)

Several renowned outdoor film series tour Germany annually and also head to the Nuremberg/Fürth metropolitan region. For 2026, new programs and dates will be published as usual before the start of the season; local screening dates in Fürth will appear in the regional programs.

Tips for Tour Dates

• Program Scope: Usually 5–10 short to medium-length films in a feature-length compilation.
• Tickets & Demand: Popular tour stops sell out quickly – early booking is recommended.
• Focus: Topics range from alpinism and climbing to environmental and expedition stories.

Short Film in Fürth All Year Round

Apart from the seasonal formats, an independently curated program cinema at the Kulturforum keeps the short film offering present through autumn and winter. Watch out for monthly program overviews with short film evenings, supporting programs, and thematic series.
