On Thursday, August 6, 2026, the Summer Cinema Braunschweig will open the garden of the Art Association for another evening full of cinematic feeling, summer air, and relaxed open-air atmosphere.

A summer evening that recharges cinema

The series has been an integral part of the Braunschweig cultural summer since 2012. It started as a student project at HBK and has developed into a volunteer-run summer cinema, which today is considered a free alternative to traditional cinema halls. Deck chairs, blankets, stars above the screen, and the unique atmosphere created by the audience in the garden shape the event experience.

The location: central, cultural, summer-like

The venue is the garden of the Art Association Braunschweig at Lessingplatz 12. The best way to get there is by bus or tram to John-F.-Kennedy-Platz; parking spaces are available in the courtyard of the Art Association. The Art Association itself has been located in Villa Salve Hospes at Lessingplatz since 1946 and belongs to the renowned art addresses of the city.

Why Your Name fits this format perfectly

Your Name is an animated film evening with emotional depth and visual brilliance, which works particularly intensively in the open-air setting. The work by Makoto Shinkai has been internationally recognized as an outstanding animated film and combines fantastic motifs with a moving narrative style. For the summer cinema, this results in just the mix of lightness, magic, and goosebumps moments that makes a summer open-air special.

Organization with experience and a clear signature

Behind the summer cinema is the association Sommerkino Braunschweig e.V., which evolved from a student film project and has been organizing the series voluntarily for years. This grown organization, its close ties to the local cultural scene, and the open admission without charge create trust and make the format attractive to a broad audience.
