Magical nights in the Filmpalast: Harry Potter marathon and hit party!

A fresh wind is blowing through the Oranienburg Filmpalast, and it has its new director Thomas Chollee to thank for that. For a year now, the 34-year-old, who lives with his family in Birkenwerder, has been in charge of the traditional cinema, which has been a fixture for film fans in the region for 27 years. Chollee has made it her mission to make going to the cinema not just a simple leisure activity, but rather an unforgettable experience for visitors. Inspired by his own childhood memories, he wants to bring back the magic of cinema and invests in fresh ideas and concepts. As maz-online.de reports, Chollee discovered the job advertisement during a visit to the cinema and I was immediately hooked.

In the last twelve months he has further modernized the film offering and has thus been able to stabilize visitor numbers. The family film “Minecraft” was particularly popular this year and was very well received by the audience. Despite increased prices for cinema tickets (with an average price of around seven euros), Chollee defused the situation with special offers, such as cinema Tuesday with reduced tickets. In order to appeal to younger target groups, he has launched collaborations with a local fitness studio and a toy store. These measures are intended to help make the cinema more present in the minds of Oranienburg and surrounding communities.

Flexible and exciting events for every audience

But Chollee doesn't stand still! A number of special events are being planned, including a Harry Potter marathon, designed to appeal to fans of magic and adventure alike. There is also a girls' evening once a month that celebrates classics like “Dirty Dancing” and “Pretty Woman” - a wonderful opportunity to spend a relaxing evening with friends.

Another highlight is the planned hit party in October, which will feature a concert by Roland Kaiser and should attract musical lovers. With these events, Chollee shows that there is something for everyone at the Filmpalast. However, his commitment goes beyond the numbers: he places great importance on creating an environment in which people feel comfortable and enjoy spending time.

But something is not only happening in the Filmpalast. For example, the baseball community is also turning to its most exciting topics.
