This film should have been shown on every big screen in the country, but unfortunately “Palm Springs” ended up in the bins of some streaming providers quite secretly and quietly last year. By the Volxkino in Vienna you can see the great time loop rom-com, which, despite all the fun, also touches on big themes (nihilism vs. the search for meaning) on a screen. “Palm Springs” will be shown with free admission on July 15 at Mitterhofergasse 2 in the 21st district in Vienna.

As always, the Volxkino not only invites you to discover new cinematic territory, but perhaps also new urban territory, and opens its screen in very different corners of the city. I also have a big recommendation for “Curveball”, which will be shown on July 22nd at Dornerplatz in the 17th district, a film about the events at the BND that are as abstruse as they are true and about how a drawing on a serviette shows the US invasion of Iraq related. The Volxkino has already opened the summer cinema season this year, so you didn’t have the summer on screens at all, as it shows Cinema on the roofon the roof of Vienna’s main library, has been showing films since the beginning of June and spans an arc from “Come on Come on” to “Summer of Soul” to “Nightmare Alley”.

On July 6, Willi Resetarit’s “Blutrausch” will be screened at the cinema on the roof in memoriam. Those who are unable to do so may make it on July 14th Cinema like never before in the Augarten in Vienna, where “Blutrausch” will be shown in the presence of director Thomas Roth. Cinema like never before is always the one occasion of the year when you can’t help but speak the word cozy unpack. Surrounded by the green of the park, you can enjoy Celine Sciamma’s films for a summer, stare in amazement at Oskar Werner’s wonderful face (for example in “Jules et Jim” or “Ship of Fools”) or just for decades -Hopping and strolling from the 60s (“In the Heat of the Night”) to the 70s (“The Warriors”), then to the 80s (“Blade Runner”) and the 90s (“Pretty Woman”). At some point please land back in the present and enjoy the current cinema: July 13th is all about “Local Artists”, “Hollywood” by Leni Gruber, “Magari” by Shari Ehlers and “My heart is open like mine fly” by Marie Luise Lehner.
That Cinema in the boiler house in Krems declares the summer cinema season to be open from July 1st and offers, among other things, the opportunity to catch up on “West Side Story” (this is also possible with the Leslie Open in Graz on July 20th) or finally two essential love stories of cinema to be seen on the big screen: “La Boum” and “Casablanca”.

From July 8th asks that frameout in the courtyard of the Museumsquartier in Vienna, the program here is also a fantastic selection of films that you would otherwise probably not get to see on a big screen: under the beautiful title “Hungry Babies” there is an evening dedicated to performative music videos . Here, an arc is drawn from Underworld via Kim Gordon to Perfume Genius. “Tiktok, Boom” (not to be confused with the musical “Tick Tick Boom”) takes a closer look at the TikTok phenomenon – from the short-term influencers it produces to security flaws and racial bias.
The Museumsquartier is probably familiar to most Viennese, but you could also use the summer cinema to see the Zukunftshof in the 10th district. In the middle of this wonderfully beautiful square courtyard, for example, “Dear Future Children” can be seen on August 17th. There is a beautiful and unusual place for cinema in Obertrum, das Trumer Sommerkino invites you to the premises of the brewery and shows, for example, “The Uncle” and “Nomadland”.
From July 31st to August 31st, the short film will be in the limelight in the garden of the Folklore Museum in Vienna, which is actually quite magically enchanted, when the splendid dotdotdot takes place, which has been showing for years what (summer) cinema can be.

At the Paradise cinema In St. Pölten you can swing through the summer from musical to music film, opening with “Mamma Mia”, followed by “Respect”, then the great Beatles documentary “Get Back”, “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Rocky Horror”. Picture Show”. From “Mamma Mia” it’s easy to build a bridge to another Abba hit (“SOS”) and you’re already at the Viennese Schikanederkino Summer of Sin: 7 Movies About The 7 Deadly Sins, so an excellent way to indulge in the madness of The Holy Mountain.

The western classic shows that Burghof Open Air in Klagenfurt and also has “Tiger and Dragon” and “Psycho” in the program.
