Going to the cinema is a very special experience. Many cinemas are currently closed due to the Corona crisis. Experts reveal what you can still look forward to.

A huge movie screen in front of you, plus some snacks and a drink. Exactly, we ended up in the cinema! At the moment, however, one can only dream of it. Just like some films conjure up a dream world. After all, visits to the cinema have not been possible for a while due to the Corona crisis.
But the cinema operators hope that this will change soon and that they will be able to show films again. Oliver Fock can hardly wait for the opening either. He is the head of several cinemas all over Germany. “There are so many good films in the starting blocks,” he says.
Despite the closed cinemas, new films were made
Because even though the cinemas were closed, new films were still being made. “So there is a kind of backwater,” says Nina Scherfer. She works for a film distributor. Such companies take care of, among other things, the publication of a film.
A film rental company not only publishes films in the cinema. Some films can also be found on so-called streaming providers. Then you pay for being able to watch the films on the Internet, for example on a tablet.
Some of these films have also been released on streaming providers
In fact, some films that were supposed to go to the cinema were also released by such streaming providers during the Corona crisis. But with a lot of big films, companies prefer to wait until they can finally show them on big screens.
This also includes stories for children. Films like “Yakari” and “The Peppercorns and the Treasure of the Deep Sea,” says film expert Claudia Hartmann, are in the starting blocks. And “Catweazle”: In it, the comedian Otto Waalkes plays a shaggy magician who moves from the Middle Ages into the present day and meets eleven-year-old Benny there. It was shot in the middle of the Corona period.
“The film was then finished and will soon be in the cinema,” says Claudia Hartmann.
Claudia Hartmann thinks that something like this can be seen much nicer in the cinema than, for example, on the computer. “Nowhere else can you experience a film in such a concentrated and intense way as in the cinema.” She also hopes that the great patience of when that is possible again doesn’t last forever. “We hope that after Easter the cinemas will be able to reopen nationwide.”
