Open-air cinema night at Wössingen's TV Club features Robbie Williams, with attendees bringing their own blankets and pillows for comfort.

In the heart of Pforzheim, the TV Woessingen sports club expanded its horizons on Friday evening, venturing into the realm of culture with an open-air screening. The Pforzheimer Kommunale Kino (Koki) was the guest for this unique event, which took place on a peaceful lawn between the sports hall and the "Gutshof".

The open-air screening started at 21:30, with 62 visitors in attendance. The relaxed, airy topic of the screening, an experimental, cinematic biography about the life of Robbie Williams titled "The Better Man", fit perfectly with the setting, according to Koki's technical director.

The TV chairman, Volker Seith, called the idea for the open-air screening to sweeten the slow period before the summer holidays. He expressed his satisfaction with the turnout, seeing no barrier to attempting something similar next year.

The Kommunale Kino Pforzheim was the sole feasible cooperation partner for the open-air screening, providing necessary film technical infrastructure. The management team led by Nadine Erlenmaier and Nadine Schneider created a super atmosphere for the attendees, complete with cinema-style popcorn snacking and Aperol Spritz or non-alcoholic Hugo.

Elke Streit, an enthusiastic spectator, praised the commendable initiative of the TV organizing the event. She had no prior information about the film but was drawn to the offer. Koki's team leader, Timo Gerstel, said that if people don't go to the cinema as often, then they will go to the people.

TV Woessingen, a sports club, has in recent years expanded its cultural offerings to include open-air film screenings, often organized in cooperation with local cultural institutions such as Koki. These events aim to combine community engagement via sports and culture by hosting films outdoors in summer, creating accessible cultural experiences for local residents.

The history of these open-air screenings frequently involves initial small-scale events that proved popular, prompting TV Woessingen and Koki to collaborate more closely and expand the program, incorporating a wider variety of films ranging from classics to contemporary cinema.

The future plans generally focus on extending these cultural events to include more screenings, possibly thematic film series, special guest appearances, and integration with other community festivals, thereby enhancing local cultural life while supporting the cinema's outreach.
