UCI Duisburg

Neudorfer Str. 36-40, 47057 Duisburg

UCI Duisburg sits on Neudorfer Strasse in a city that claims Europe's largest inland port, where the Rhine and Ruhr rivers converge in a landscape once dominated entirely by steel mills and coal barges. The industrial sublime of Duisburg's waterfront -- Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord, a decommissioned steelworks turned public park, is among its most visited sites -- gives the city a raw, photogenic quality that few German cities can match. The multiplex provides standard UCI projection and sound to an audience drawn from a proud working-class city that has embraced cultural transformation without abandoning its industrial identity. The nearby Lehmbruck Museum and the annual Duisburger Filmwoche documentary festival add depth to the local film culture. UCI Duisburg is cinema at the confluence of rivers and of old and new economies.
