    Curly Burly

    78 min

    Krølle Bølle lives safely underground on Bornholm with his family and all the other trolls. Life here is full of bat flights, cave parties—and rules, lots of rules. One rule in particular must never be broken: do not go up to the surface, because humans are dangerous. But Krølle Bølle is a troublemaker who doesn’t quite understand what all the rules are for. When a sudden rumbling comes from above, he sneaks up toward the human world to see what’s happening. His little sister Borra follows him, and what begins as an innocent mischief-filled outing for the two of them quickly turns into a grand adventure—full of danger, magic, and experiences greater than anything Krølle Bølle could ever have dreamed of.

Frequently asked01 — 07

Which cinemas are covered?

Currently 3 cinemas and film series in Heidelberg and the surrounding area: Gloria & Gloriette Heidelberg, Karlstorkino Heidelberg and Die Kamera Heidelberg.

How current is the programme?

Data is scraped multiple times a day directly from cinema websites. Cancellations, sold-out flags and programme changes usually surface within an hour.

Can I buy tickets here?

No — the Tickets button on each screening links directly to the cinema's own booking page. This site doesn't sell tickets and takes no commission.

What do OmU, OmeU, DF, OV, DCP, 35mm mean?

Language version: OmU = original audio with German subtitles, OmeU = original with English subtitles, DF = German-dubbed version, OV = original version with no subtitles, stumm = silent film (often with live accompaniment). Projection format: DCP = Digital Cinema Package, the digital standard in modern cinemas; 35mm / 16mm / 70mm = analogue film prints on physical stock.

What happens to screenings that have already started?

On today's view, screenings are hidden 30 minutes after their start time, so only reachable showtimes remain visible. A small note at the bottom shows how many have already begun.

Why this site?

Heidelberg has an unusually dense cinema scene — the DFF Filmmuseum, Astor, three arthouse houses, Pupille at the university, Programmkino Rex in Darmstadt, the Murnau in Wiesbaden — but no shared programme. This site lays every house onto one searchable day view.
