Elvis on the big screen: EPiC brings the King to Duisburg

On April 11, 2026, filmforum Duisburg transforms Dellplatz into a stage for an extraordinary concert documentary: EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. The film by Baz Luhrmann will be shown at 6:00 PM, lasts 96 minutes, and takes viewers right into the glitzy Las Vegas era of the King of Rock 'n' Roll.

An evening of glamour, archival treasures, and live atmosphere

The opening sets the tone with stunning visuals and strong emotions. The filmforum, known for its atmosphere reminiscent of a 1950s cinema palace, creates the perfect setting for a concert experience that not only tells music history but makes it palpable. Luhrmann uses restored archival material, concert recordings, and rehearsal moments to present Elvis Presley in a rarely seen intense form.

The power of the material: Elvis in focus

The production looks back at the late 1960s and early 1970s when Elvis performed with immense stage presence and controlled energy. Songs like Hound Dog, Always on My Mind, In the Ghetto, and Bridge Over Troubled Water shape the documentary and make the program particularly appealing for fans of classic rock 'n' roll performances. The restored sound and elaborate editing enhance the emotional impact of this film event.

filmforum Duisburg as a fitting venue

The municipal cinema is centrally located at Dellplatz 16 in 47051 Duisburg. It has good connections via the main train station, bus, subway, and tram, and there are numerous parking spaces available nearby that are free of charge after 8:00 PM. Thus, the evening is also organizationally suited for a relaxed cinema visit.
