About Mediterranean Film Days

The Mittelmeerfilmtage Nürnberg (Mediterranean Film Days Nuremberg) is the open-air film festival for Mediterranean film in the Franconian metropolis. Since 2014, the series has been showing films from the Mediterranean region in the romantic courtyard of the Tucherschloss on Hirschelgasse — in their original language with German subtitles. The Mediterranean Film Days annually kick off Nuremberg's open-air summer of film. 2026 edition: May 25 to June 7, 2026.

Mediterranean Film in a Franconian Courtyard

The Tucherschloss in Nuremberg's Sebalder Altstadt is a Renaissance city palace of the Tucher von Simmelsdorf merchant family from the 16th century. Since 2014, the inner courtyard, along with the adjacent Hirsvogelsaal, has been the venue for the Mittelmeerfilmtage — one of Nuremberg's most distinctive film series.

Concept

  • Films from the Mediterranean region: Italian, Spanish, French, Greek, Turkish, Moroccan, Lebanese, and Israeli film art — from classics to premieres.
  • Original language with German subtitles: The original is preserved; no one is forced to watch dubbed versions.
  • Open Air in the Tucherschloss Courtyard: Summer evenings with a view of historic walls — open-air cinema with atmosphere, not a multiplex.
  • Opening of the Open-Air Summer: The festival marks the beginning of Nuremberg's open-air summer of film, which lasts until September.
  • Organizers: Mobiles Kino e.V. Nürnberg in cooperation with the City of Nuremberg Museums.

State and Cultural Context

Bavaria, administrative region Middle Franconia, independent city Nuremberg. As Bavaria's second-largest city, Nuremberg boasts a rich film culture — with the "Turkey/Germany" Film Festival and the "Silent Film Music Festival" as established fixtures. The Mediterranean Film Days complement this scene with a clear geographical focus and an unusual open-air setting.

Mediterranean Film Days — edition 2026

From May 25 to June 7, 2026, the Mittelmeerfilmtage Nürnberg will screen films from the Mediterranean region in the courtyard of the Tucherschloss. Ten days of open-air cinema in original language with German subtitles will kick off Nuremberg's open-air summer of film. The detailed film program for 2026 will be published by Mobiles Kino e.V. shortly before the festival.
