An intense cinema evening at Obenkino Cottbus

With PALESTINE 36, a historical film drama is coming to Obenkino Cottbus on May 16, 2026, which combines political tension, personal fates, and grand imagery. The showing starts at 5:00 PM and runs until 7:00 PM at the venue on Street of Youth 16.

History, conflict, and strong images

The film is set in Palestine in 1936, when more and more villages rise up against the British colonial power. Between rural homeland and tense Jerusalem, a dense narrative web unfolds that highlights a historical turning point. The production relies on atmospheric historical cinema, political intensification, and clear targeting for film fans interested in history and the present.

Obenkino as the suitable stage

The location on Street of Youth 16 is centrally accessible and belongs to the established cultural addresses in the city. This creates just the right environment for the event experience: close, focused, and with a genuine audience atmosphere.

The preliminary reporting on the city’s event page highlights the runtime of 119 minutes, the genre historical drama, and the original version with German subtitles. Additionally, the strong cast featuring Jeremy Irons, Hiam Abbass, and Kamel Al Basha adds further presence to the film.
