Cycling to the Cape: a moving cinema experience in Duisburg
On May 21, 2026, Same Sun - Cycling Through Africa at the filmforum Duisburg goes far beyond a classic cinema evening. The documentary follows Wiebke Lühmann on an extraordinary cycling journey from Freiburg to the Cape of Good Hope, condensing 430 days, 22 countries, and countless encounters into an intense discovery experience.
A journey that opens horizons
The film tells of desert storms, rainy seasons, rainforests, and the vastness of Namibia. At the same time, it shows how endurance, curiosity, and inner strength create a cultural travel adventure. Those who love long-distance travel, cycling trips, and compelling stories about local history and global perspectives will experience an impressive mix of adventure film and personal expedition.
Duisburg film culture in a special atmosphere
The filmforum at Dellplatz stands for art cinema in the city, for European diversity, and for a cinema with charming 1950s atmosphere. The evening is perfect for visitors who want to not only see culture but feel it. The proximity to the city center, clear orientation from Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz, and good transportation connections make visiting straightforward and pleasant.
Why this evening feels special
