Arts Alliance Media (AAM), the global leader in digital cinema software and support services, has reaffirmed its partnership with Yorck Kinogruppe, Germany’s largest arthouse cinema network, by supplying Screenwriter to manage content and scheduling at the ARTE Sommerkino Kulturforum, Berlin’s renowned summer open-air cinema.
Throughout the summer months, Yorck Kinogruppe once again transformed the Kulturforum, an iconic hub of museums, libraries, and concert halls, into an open-air cinema, bringing film lovers a vibrant program of seasonal highlights, timeless classics, and audience favourites under the Berlin skyline.
To deliver smooth and efficient operations, Yorck Kinogruppe relied on Screenwriter, AAM’s industry-leading Theatre Management System (TMS), which offered a centralised solution for playlist creation, content management, and screen monitoring during the event.
“The ARTE Sommerkino Kulturforum has become a cherished tradition in Berlin, not only because of its spectacular setting but also for its celebration of cinema and culture. Using a dependable and adaptable TMS like Screenwriter played a key role in ensuring everything ran seamlessly,” said Ricardo Ancona, Head of It at Yorck Kinogruppe.
Screenwriter, the world’s leading and most widely deployed TMS, streamlines operational processes such as scheduling features, trailers, and adverts, as well as monitoring playback across multiple screens. For special events and festivals, it enables organisers to automate tasks and maintain precise control, making cinema management both reliable and time-efficient.
Tonje Leirvik, Software Sales Manager at Arts Alliance Media, commented, “We’re delighted to have supported Yorck Kinogruppe with Screenwriter for this year’s ARTE Sommerkino Kulturforum. Providing a solution that has powered some of the world’s most celebrated film festivals, we’re proud to help strengthen connections with audiences.”
