Strick cinema in Schwerin: Experience film enjoyment and creativity together!

Schwerin, Deutschland - The knitting cinemas bring new life to the Schwerin film culture. At a time when streaming services are gaining popularity, Luise Gronostay, operator of the creative department store in Schwerin, brought a Scandinavian trend to Germany that inspires: the knitting cinema. At the premiere in June, over 50 knitting enthusiasts came together to enjoy the film "Bridget Jones" and at the same time let needles rattling. The second event that took place last week even attracted more than 80 participants who knitted and laughed at "The Greatest Showman".

For everyone who wants to try the relaxing interaction of film and manual work, the next knitting cinema is already planned on August 7th at 6 p.m. That evening the film "Beautiful" will be shown with Karoline Herfurth. Guests are invited to bring their own handicraft projects - be it knitting, embroidery or crocheting - to bring along and to be creative together in a convivial atmosphere. The knitting consultation hour, an hour before the start of the film, also offers the opportunity to ask questions and learn new techniques.

a creative-community experience

The participants are particularly enthusiastic about the atmosphere that the knitting cinema creates. It is a room in which social contacts can be linked. Positive feedback shows that the event is not only a joy for hobby knitters, but also beats a bridge between different generations. In order to further promote the sense of community, Luise is planning a knitting guerrilla campaign, in which an object is being knitted together to beautify the Schwerin farms. Such actions are a clear expression for the cooperation in the city.

For the creative community around the creative department store, there are also monthly knitting courses, which are particularly appealing to younger generations. These have been trendy since the Corona period, since many people have discovered knitting than beneficial employment. The events offer the opportunity to learn new techniques under expert guidance and at the same time to meet like -minded people.

A look beyond the city limits

The trend of the knitting cinemas can not only be observed in Schwerin. If you look at Hamburg, for example, there are similar events that arouse enthusiasm. There, the Zeise Kinos combine cinemas as part of the “Knitting in the cinema” program Film screenings with the possibility of becoming creative themselves. Films such as "Dreams" from the Norwegian trilogy "Oslo Stories" are used and create a relaxing ambience in which knitting and film enjoyment meet. And without obligation - even without knitting, you can immerse yourself in the special atmosphere.

Regardless of the location, the goal of the knitting cinemas remains the same: to move people from home to cinemas and create a common experience. This initiative impressively shows that film and manual work can complement each other and that the cultural importance of such events goes far beyond knitting.

The next knitting cinema in the Filmpalast Capitol Schwerin on August 7 is completely under the motto: knitting together, enjoying films and closing new acquaintances. Be there and bring your wool with you! Further information is available on the creative department store website and in the program of the Nordkurier.
