Magazine (cinema)
The magazine Filmkunsttheater is a cinema in Hamburg-Winterhude with varying programming. The cinema is located in a listed residential complex designed by Fritz Schumacher as a home for simple working-class and pensioner families. Today the magazine is - after the Passage Kino - the oldest still preserved and recorded traditional cinema in Hamburg.
The large, oval cinema hall has a 4.90 m × 10.50 m large, cinemascope- compatible screen and offers space for 370 guests. In 2013, the analog 35 mm large spool projector was replaced by digital projection technology from Kinoton . At the same time, the sound and building technology was also renewed.
The elliptical cinema hall - an ( acoustic ) focal point is roughly in the middle of the fourth / fifth row of seats - was built in the inner courtyard of a residential area, but was closed when the cinema was dying. The cinema was rebuilt under the leadership of Gerd Fölster. Around a third of the old rows of chairs were removed to allow comfortable seating. In addition, the hall decoration was adapted to current tastes. The acquisition of a new screen could not be realized until the start of regular demonstrations at the end of January 1974.
There is a matinee (Sundays at 11 a.m.) or other live events at regular intervals .
In the summer of 2007, the association “Magazin Filmkunst und Kultur in Winterhude eV” was founded, which has meanwhile been recognized as a non-profit organization and is committed to the long-term preservation of the cinema.
