Open-air cinema in Markersbach on Friday, station festival in Dubí and Border Beech Festival in Cínovec on Saturday
13.08.2024
We would like to draw your attention to three German-Czech events on Friday and Saturday of this week.
Open-air cinema in Markersbach
For once, we are not recommending a Czech movie on a Wednesday in Dresden, but on Friday in Markersbach (Bad Gottleuba). "Občanský průkaz" (Identity Card) from 2010 will be shown there at 9 pm open air at the village community center as OmU.
The comedy by director Ondřej Trojan from 2010 follows the fates of four teenagers in Prague in the 1970s who try not to lose their common sense and sense of humor in a totalitarian state. They go through a series of episodes, some ridiculous with a touch of absurd grotesqueness, others dramatic or tragic. The film offers a glimpse into the era of totalitarianism in the 1970s with typical enigmatic Czech humor and shows what young people and adults had to deal with back then. The film also has a lot of 70s flair.
From 7 p.m., you can gather at the Markersbach village community center for a delicious barbecue and cool drinks. There will also be a bouncy castle and goal wall shooting for younger guests. The film starts at 9 pm, in case of bad weather in the neighboring sports hall.
Admission is free. The event is supported by the small project fund of the Elbe/Labe Euroregion.

Dubí train station festival
For the second time, a pretty station festival will be held on Saturday at Dubí station to mark the 140th anniversary of the Vltava-Friuli railroad.
You can visit the small private railroad museum at Dubí station. In addition to the regular trains, there are also a number of special trains, e.g. to the town festival in Ossegg. There will also be a connection with a historic bus to the Border Beech Festival in Zinnwald.
Border Beech Festival Cínovec
The third event to be celebrated in Cínovec (Bohemian Zinnwald) and Zinnwald is the traditional Border Beech Festival on Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. There will be lots of music and motorized veterans. Of course, there will also be cakes and barbecues.
The festival is organized by the Wetterverein Zinnwald.
