Alabama Kino, Movie theater in Winterhude, Hamburg, Germany.
Alabama Kino is a program cinema in the Helga hall on the Kampnagel cultural centre grounds in Hamburg-Winterhude. Its single auditorium has 156 seats, a 21-square-metre screen and seating by Kamphöner. A Bauer U4C 35mm projector is still occasionally used alongside a digital projector.
The cinema sits on the grounds of Kampnagel, which began as a harbor crane manufacturing facility in the early 1900s. The industrial site later transformed into a cultural center housing various creative spaces.
The cinema's name comes from its predecessor in Eidelstedt, which showed trash, horror and B-movies from 1977. At Kampnagel, matinees and productions matched to the theatre's programme continue that off-mainstream line, alongside children's and youth films shown during the day.
The screening room holds 156 seats and is reached inside the Helga hall on the Kampnagel site in Winterhude. The entrance is step-free for wheelchair users. Films in original language with German subtitles are a regular part of the programme, so check the language before booking.
The cinema's 35mm Bauer U4C projector, carried over from the old Eidelstedt Alabama, is still occasionally put to use alongside the digital projector. Sound runs through a Dolby SR system, and the 21 m² screen is paired with seating supplied by Kamphöner.
