Film first, G&T second
From vintage shops to cinema to your favorite corner bar — how to spend a movie night with director Carrie Hajny.
From vintage shops to cinema to your favorite corner bar — how to spend a movie night with director Carrie Hajny.
The neighborhood surrounding Wolf Kino is ideal for a pre-cinema stroll. London- and Berlin-based Carrie Hajny loves its vintage shops and chaotic, diverse vibe — and she’s especially fond of Wolf Kino, where her first-ever Berlin premiere was held.
Carrie has a knack for exploring human connections and coming-of-age stories in both her commercial and short films. Her ideal cinema outing? Some vintage shopping, followed by a great movie, and then jumping straight into the discussion — with a Gin and Tonic in hand, preferably at bar Nathanja & Heinrich. The Wolf Kino neighborhood offers plenty of pre- or post-movie drink options. Not in the mood to leave the cinema? Enjoy a coffee or chilled drink at Wolf Kino’s in-house bar, or join one of their regular film talks, introductions, or in-depth discussions.

Famous for its flavorful peanut sauce, the hole-in-the-wall Sudanese eatery is a great place to grab some street food before or after a screening. Few Berliners have yet to try the falafel and halloumi sandwich.
Just around the corner from Wolf Kino, stumble across Das Gift, “the friendliest bar in Neukölln”. We like to head here for a drink after a film, especially when they’re hosting a stand-up comedy night or pub quiz.
It’s nearly impossible to pass by Espera’s glass storefront without stopping for a pastry or cake. We like to sit here and do as Amélie would: observe all the different characters that come in and out.
Eat a contemporary European meal before catching a contemporary European film. Eins44 — hidden away in a high-ceilinged old distillery — serves unfussy, seasonal food prioritizing creativity and flavor.
The coziest evenings are spent at home watching a film, but when you’re itching to get out of the house, Wolf Kino and Knödelwirtschaft come in at a close second. The hearty, warming dumplings come in many variations — don’t skip the mushroom sauce!
After immersing ourselves in Sofia Coppola’s unrivaled aesthetics, we dream of upgrading our own look. We visit The Good Store for a curation of contemporary vintage, unisex jewelry and beautiful gifts.
