Two notable premieres anchor the program: Steven Spielberg's new science-fiction film 'Disclosure Day – Der Tag der Wahrheit' on August 29, which asks whether humanity is alone in the universe, and the latest Eberhofer crime comedy 'Steckerlfischfiasko' on August 30, starring Sebastian Bezzel as village policeman Franz Eberhofer and known for its dry Bavarian humor.
The open-air stage is integrated into the museum hill, guaranteeing an optimal view of the screen from every seat. The museum's distinctive architecture forms a unique backdrop for the film nights. Tickets and further information are available at www.mercedes-benz.com/oak.
Why this matters
The event turns the museum's landmark architecture into an outdoor summer cinema, offering a varied mix of genres under the open sky. Its early sell-outs show strong demand, and the program appeals well beyond car enthusiasts – including a new Steven Spielberg science-fiction film and a new Bavarian crime comedy. Visitors get a chance to combine a museum visit with an evening film experience in a unique setting.
