Sitter-Ciné 2025
Openair-Cinema at the pool in the Sitter valley with bar from the 26th to the 29th of August.
This year's theme, ‘Déjà-vu / REDUX,’ deals with renewal, memory, and restructuring. From art to time travel, from repression to architecture: how do things reappear, what form do they take, and do we recognise them again? The Sitterwerk Foundation invites you to immerse yourself in the world of memory through a series of uncomfortable, melancholic, documentary and artistic films.
