Autokino Cinema Drive-In - June 2024

For a few weekends in July 2024, Pratteln will turn into a 1950s-style American drive-in. The annual Autokino film series is back. Attendees can park their cars, order a burger from a server on roller skates, and enjoy a classic movie from the comfort of their driver's seat. This year's lineup of movies includes last year's mega-hit Barbie as well as Sister Act, Four Weddings and Funeral, and The Evil Dead. They're presented in English and in German – you just tune in your radio dial to a customised channel to hear in the language of your choice. The English Show spoke with Autokino organiser Giacun Caduff about this year's event, and the history of Autokino in Pratteln.

You can get tickets for the shows at the Autokino website (Caduff advises buying early – the screening of Blues Brothers is sure to sell out). And if you don't have a car, no worries. Walk-in tickets are available, but Caduff advises to bring a portable FM radio to tune in the movie's soundtrack.
