Experience film art at Lumière Göttingen
Lumière invites you to a special cinema experience on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at 3:00 PM. The traditional Göttingen program cinema combines carefully curated film selections with an engaged film culture, creating a space for aesthetic experience, focused contemplation of works, and a communal cinema experience.
An afternoon between fantasy and the big screen
The program features Shrek – The Brave Hero at 3:00 PM on the occasion of its 25th anniversary. This well-known animated film unfolds its effect through vivid, colorful imagery, precise timing, and a fairy-tale-like dramaturgy that combines classical storytelling patterns with fine humor and modern pop culture. The screen becomes a sensual space of experience where animation, music, language, and movement blend into an independent cinematic form.
Lumière as a place of film art
Founded in 1986, the Lumière cinema stands for artistically outstanding feature and documentary films, socially relevant themes, and cultural education. Original versions, audience discussions, children's cinema, short films, and silent film events with live music shape the profile of the venue. The Film and Cinema Initiative Göttingen e. V. makes the cinema a vibrant place for cultural exchange beyond the mainstream.
Atmosphere, encounters, and cultural participation
The exhibition atmosphere of a museum gives way to the special concentration of the cinema hall: dimmed light, the glowing image area, and the shared rhythm of the screening focus attention on cinematic design. Lumière thus offers an art experience that connects entertainment with aesthetic education. Accessible access supports as comprehensive cultural participation as possible.
Practical information for visiting the cinema
The regular ticket price is 10 Euros. Discounts apply, among others, to students, trainees, school students, unemployed persons, and individuals with a disability ID, guild card, or volunteer card.

Conclusion: Cinema as an aesthetic experience
The Lumière cinema program offers a concentrated afternoon for film lovers, families, and anyone who wants to experience animation as an independent art form. Those seeking the connection of visual fantasy, narrative precision, and communal cinema culture will find here an inspiring place for cultural enrichment. A visit to Lumière is particularly worthwhile live in the cinema hall, where the big screen unfolds its full effect.
