| Written by: Thomas Hauerslev | Date: 27.04.2024 | Mr. Ingolf Vonau, Chief Projectionist and responsible for all on-premise day-to-day cinema operations. Standing next to one of Delphi's two Philips DP75 70mm projectors. Ingolf is one Berlin's leading experts on anything 70mm film and projection. Picture (13. February 2024.): Thomas Hauerslev
On a recent visit to Berlin, my wife and I passed the Delphi-Filmpalast am Zoo Kino in Kantstraße close to the Berlin Zoo train station. Delphi-Filmpalast am Zoo Kino is a classic cinema from 1949, and still kept in mint condition by the Yorck cinema Group. Yorck also runs the Kino International close to Alexanderplatz and Cinema Paris nearby and many more in Berlin.
In July 2023 "Oppenheimer" was shown reel-to-reel in 70mm. In February Martin Scorsese visited the Delphi-Filmpalast am Zoo Kino during the 2024 Berlinale Film Festival.

For 25 years years I have known Mr. Ingolf Vonau who is the projectionist at the Delphi. Some readers might remember him from the stories about the DDR 70mm process DEFA 70. We decided to go in and see if Ingolf was there that evening. And sure enough a few moment later he came down the stairs to say hello. Ingolf was busy, and as we did not want to take his time, and instead we agreed I should come back two days later for a tour. | More in 70mm reading:

Two days later I came back late in the afternoon, and met with Ingolf who kindly opened the doors the cinema so I could take some pictures of this magic place. He gave me the grand tour to the projection room as well. A "holy" place with two DP75 machines and a digital projector. Like stepping 30 years back in time. Film posters on the wall, and Kodak 35mm film cores nicely organized on a shelf. The rewind table with 70mm reels and the splicer. Rolls of old Todd-AO footage, with a certain smell in rusty cans. Dimmed light and cables and film "things" everywhere. On the steps leading up to projection a 70mm film print was waiting to be shipped. | | Fim Director Martin Scorsese in front of fhe Delphi's beautiful curtains as seen from the projection room 21.

The speaker system is a Dolby System with 5 front channels, capable of presenting the old 70mm mixes on film or digital system. The amplifier system is a QSC Q-SYS network based sound system. The curved wall-to-wall screen is 14,5 meters wide, and has a height of 6,6 meters for 70mm. Seating an audience of up to 673 people, it is one of Germany's biggest independent screens. On the facade the "publikum" is welcomed with two big white neon signs with big letters spelling "DELPHI". It looks really good. Delphi-Filmpalast am Zoo Kino is still a great place to watch films and a place which is appreciated by its "stammpublikum".
The Delphi is a must-see for anyone interested in cinemas. A very fine classic cinema in the heart of Berlin. A big large-format Thank You to Ingolf for his hospitality. | | | | | | • Go to The Delphi, Filmpalast am Zoo, Berlin, Germany • Go to gallery Delphi Cinema, Berlin | | Go: back - top - back issues - news index Updated 27-04-24 | |
