UCI Flensburg

Süderhofenden 14, 24937 Flensburg

UCI Flensburg on Suederhofenden sits in Germany's northernmost major city, a harbour town on the Flensburg Fjord just kilometres from the Danish border. The city's character is shaped by this proximity -- Danish is heard in the streets, the architecture carries Scandinavian influences, and the cultural life draws from both sides of the frontier. The cinema serves an audience that includes both German and Danish speakers, along with students from the Europa-Universitaet and sailors from the harbour. Standard UCI projection and sound equip the auditoriums with mainstream releases in a setting where the sea is never far from sight or smell. Flensburg's rum-trading past and its famous traffic-offence registry may define its reputation elsewhere, but for locals the UCI is simply the place where films are shown at the edge of the continent.
