Polyloid Filmfest 2026

Polyloid in the Neighborhood – A Movie Theater Where the Neighborhood Comes Alive!

Polyloid is back—outdoors, free of charge, and right in the heart of eastern Leipzig.

Over the course of five evenings, you can experience and enjoy movies with your neighbors. In addition to two evenings atNeustädter Markt, we’re excited to make another trip to Baalsdorf this year, where we’ll screen a movie atLinke Hof—betweenthe courtyard buildings and the garden—in a rural setting. There will also be screenings this year at the Paunsdorf Market Square, in collaboration with thePaunsdorf Neighborhood ManagementandPandechaion – Herberge e.V.
