Open-air cinema on Minoritenplatz
This summer, FilmfestiWels is once again transforming the Schießerhof next to Minoritenplatz in Wels into an open-air cinema.
On the summer weekends from 17 July to 31 August, Thursdays to Sundays, Programmkino Wels is showing a selected programme of comedies, music films and action-packed cinema fare - whatever the weather.
Film fans can look forward to Austrian and international film highlights to rediscover and revisit, such as Pia Hierzegger's successful debut "Altweibersommer" or the Bob Dylan biopic "Like a Complete Unknown" with Timothée Chalamet. Summer film enjoyment can also be experienced with Louise Curvoirsier's "Kings of Summer" or Niclas Bendixen's "Bella Roma - Love in Italian".
