A cult film that retains its magic for decades
"Dirty Dancing" tells the story of summer, desire, social friction, and the awakening of a young woman who finds her own rhythm. The film by Emile Ardolino, based on the screenplay by Eleanor Bergstein, became a surprise hit in 1987/88 and is still regarded as a love story with a strong dance heart and a keen sense of pop culture.

Open-air cinema with a special theater atmosphere
Even without a stage in the classical sense, this evening unfolds an almost scenic force: lighting mood, summer air, and the collective audience reaction transform the rose garden of the Spreeauenpark into a shared stage experience. The Film Nights Cottbus locate their program in the Spreeauenpark and create a cultural open-air format that blends cinema, concert, and city experience.
