Bochum becomes a shining canvas

On November 7, 2026, the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum transforms into the starting point of a special discovery experience: During the short film walk with A Wall is a Screen, city tour, film night, and urban atmosphere combine to create an extraordinary cultural evening.

Short films under the open sky

The international project A Wall is a Screen brings short films from the cinema to the public space. Bright facades, walls, and other urban surfaces become temporary screens. The audience moves together from one screening location to another and experiences films where architecture, light, and city history directly interact.

Film meets urban landscape

The special appeal of this short film walk lies in the change of perspectives. As the images appear on the walls, the view of Bochum also changes: Industrial heritage, striking architecture, and the evening atmosphere around the Jahrhunderthalle become part of the cinematic experience. The city is not only observed but rediscovered as a cultural space.

An evening for film fans and explorers

A Wall is a Screen stands for a connection between city walking and mobile film projection. The short films come from various genres and open up diverse perspectives on social, personal, and urban topics. The combination of movement, shared observation, and surprising projection sites creates an authentic atmosphere beyond traditional cinema spaces.

Cultural heritage of the Jahrhunderthalle

The Jahrhunderthalle is one of the most significant industrial cultural sites in Bochum. As an event venue, it connects the history of the mining region with contemporary art and film culture. The short film walk builds on this unique identity and makes the structural change of the Ruhr region sensibly experienceable.

Conclusion: See Bochum with new eyes

Visitors can expect an inspiring cultural evening with moving images, urban locations, and surprising views of Bochum. Those who want to connect short film, industrial culture, and extraordinary city tours will experience a cultural enrichment with a special atmosphere at this blicke special.
