There is not one thing for me; there are many things that make cinema special!


For the 23rd edition of Big Screen Feature - providing a behind-the-scenes look at the world of cinema exhibition through the eyes of professionals themselves - Christine Berg, Managing Director, HDF Kino, discusses the job itself and the value of the Big Screen.

Describe your typical day at work

I spend a lot of time every day on the phone talking to colleagues in the industry, to politicians and cinema operators. Furthermore, I work a lot on new concepts in order to continuously move our industry and its policies forward and I am in constant coordination with our main committee on current topics.

The moment you fell in love with the Big Screen?

When I saw the first Star Wars film at the age of 10. The big screen with the great sound was a completely new experience. And because of Luke Skywalker, who I fell in love with immediately.

The best thing about the cinema experience?

There is not one thing for me; there are many things that make cinema special. The Big Screen, the smell of popcorn, a special movie, the community experience, and the particular atmosphere in the cinema that triggers a Hollywood feeling in me.

I also love being able to enjoy a film without distraction and experience such intense emotions together with other people in the cinema.
