Endstation.kino: A vibrant centre for film culture in the Ruhr metropolis, embedded in the historical ambience of the Bahnhof Langendreer cultural centre. Since its opening in 1988, this cinema has established itself as a platform for innovation that goes far beyond the usual cinema visit and offers an incomparable cultural experience.
The programme at endstation.kino impresses with a wide-ranging selection of international and non-mainstream feature films and documentaries, which are primarily presented in their original version with German subtitles. Regularly honoured with awards, its film series and discussions with creative people from the film and media industry enjoy an outstanding reputation. The cinema places particular emphasis on documentary works and children's films, in which creativity and the joy of discovery go hand in hand.
Aside from the screen, endstation.kino promotes education and engagement through projects such as the children's cinema and the discounted plush cinema for senior citizens. Collaborations with local institutions - from the municipal cinema KOKI to endstation.goldkante - create exciting discussion forums about films and their cultural significance.
A particular highlight in the calendar of events is the "blicke" festival, which originated in the Ruhr region and presents creative interpretations of film art every year. In addition, the documentary film festival "Stranger than Fiction" offers a platform for current documentary works, which are accompanied by inspiring film talks. This rich programme is complemented by the biennial Bochum DEFA Film Festival, which is organised in collaboration with the Ruhr University Bochum.
Discover a dynamic interface of film, art and urban lifestyle at endstation.kino - a must for all those who love cultural impulses and want to experience the diversity of the world in all its facets.
