On two weekends in August, the Schlüterhof becomes a meeting place for film enthusiasts from all over the world – with summery drinks and snacks. The open-air festival presents six current cinema productions that are box office hits in their countries of origin but have not yet been shown on the big screen in Germany. Before the screenings, we invite you to thematic spotlights to get you in the mood – with prominent guests!
Over two weekends in August, the Box Office Around the World festival presents six current cinema productions that are audience successes and box office hits in their countries of origin, but have not yet been seen on the big screen in Germany.
Together with representatives of the Berlin communities from Thailand, Argentina, Nigeria, Vietnam, Brazil and India and the curator Dorothee Wenner, the films were selected and an accompanying programme developed. Before the open-air screenings, a thematic spotlight – with a star-studded line-up – will be directed at each film.
Mesdames Thanh Sac / Vietnam 2026
Based on a true story, the film tells of a drama of jealousy set against the backdrop of Saigon’s nightlife in the 1960s. At the center of the story are two prominent women from high society: Madame Sac, the wealthy owner of a fabulous diamond collection—and a legendary nightclub. Her Kim Do nightclub sparkles and sizzles in every corner, and it’s not just the ladies’ stunning wardrobes that evoke Paris. The luxurious club is a gathering place for Saigon’s underworld, who indulge themselves here every night and, in the cover of darkness, ensure that everything continues as before… In this milieu, the beautiful Cam Thanh rises in the audience’s favor to become the city’s most famous dancer. But Madame Sac is as strict as she is jealous and power-hungry. When Cam Thanh tries to free herself from her dependence on Madame Sac, the two women clash, and their power struggle drags both into a dramatic downward spiral.
The set design alone makes this film a sensational standout in Vietnamese cinema—but the elegant reconstruction of Saigon’s nightlife in those years is also worth seeing for its allusions to the present.
Programme
8 pm: Talk with Dorothee Wenner (Host) and others (in German)
9 pm: Film
