Cinema is dead – long live cinema! It has been pronounced dead a thousand times over yet it is more successful than ever. What is he reason for this? Is there a future? And if there is one: what will it look like and why?

Gloria Palast: The name alone evokes images of grand style, glitz and glamour à la Hollywood. When you enter the lobby of this traditional cinema in Munich at the Stachus, and see the curving, tapered staircase with its delicate railing you are literally stepping back in time … imagining Grace Kelly descending the red carpet on Alfred Hitchcock’s arm.

“Museum-Lichtspiele”, the second oldest cinema (1910) in Munich, is one of the most legendary cult cinemas. The »Rocky Horror Picture Show« has been running here every week for the past 40 years. And, since 1980 even in an auditorium custom decorated for the movie. Not only did this catapult the cinema into the Guinness Book of Records, it has also made it world-famous.
