Cineplex Penzing

Graf-Zeppelin-Straße 11, 86929 Penzing

Penzing, a small Bavarian community near Landsberg am Lech between Munich and Augsburg, lies in a landscape where the Lech river cuts through the Tertiary hills south of the Danube. The Cineplex on Graf-Zeppelin-Strasse serves a dispersed rural audience for whom the drive to Munich or Augsburg for a film would consume most of an evening. The surrounding countryside -- meadows, forests, and the distant profile of the Alps on clear days -- gives Penzing a tranquil character that its cinema gently disrupts with the arrival of each new programme. Small-town cinemas like this one are the capillaries of German film culture, reaching audiences that the arterial multiplexes cannot.
