Original language movies are traditionally very popular in Düsseldorf. Films available to expats are screened mostly in original with subtitles, known as OmU or Original mit Untertitel and without, portrayed as OV or Original Version in a number of movie theatres.
CineStar screens mainstream releases and blockbusters in original at their lively multiplex cinema. UCI Kinowelt generally shows a weekly movie. Filmkunstkinos show mainly art house films in original with subtitles in their cosy cinemas, while Filmwerkstatt often shows classics.
Many films produced in English are screened for several days and even a few weeks. Others unfortunately appear for just a day or two.
Enjoy watching original versions with subtitles in French, Spanish, Russian, Polish and other languages such as Hindi, Urdu, Farsi, Arabic. Keep your eye open for occasional specials at the Film Museum too.

The movie theatre contains nine cinemas, the largest of which offers a 600 seats and a screen over 8m by 18m in size. The experience can include traditional popcorn and soft drinks.
The Filmkunstkinos in Düsseldorf show mostly art house films in original English with German subtitles in several cosy and more traditional movie theatres, which are very diverse.
The cinemas are movie theatre Atelier with larger screen, quirky Bambi with two screens, traditional and quaint single screen Cinema, neighbourhood multiscreen Metropol, highly unique Souterrain below bistro Muggel and open air Vier Linden.
The Filmwerkstatt shows a unique selection of classic and vintage original language movies in original version, OV, or original with subtitles, OmU. Originally founded as long ago as 1976, the organisation brings together film-makers, enthusiasts and students.
The non-profit is supported by the state of NRW, the cultural department of Düsseldorf and the renowned and globally active Filmstiftung NRW.
UCI Kinowelt is situated amongst the commercial and office area of the former harbour in Dusseldorf. The multiplex screens mostly blockbuster movies and fortunately presents expats with another opportunity to view films in the original English language version over the weekends.
