Summer, sun – cinema. The Bremen Chamber of Employees, together with various partners, is offering this again this year with the LUX open-air cinema series in Bremen's north and Neustadt districts.
This year's motto is "Meaning & Search." The films in the program focus on the quest for knowledge. In Bremen's north, the emphasis is more on science, stemming from this year's theme year of Bremen's economic development agency, "Phenomenal 2026: Discover Bremen. Experience Knowledge."
