BIPA officially entered the Romanian market on 22 January 2026 and opened its first shop in the Mega Mall shopping centre in the Romanian capital Bucharest.

The next stop on our country tour takes us to a country that stands for enjoyment, tradition and joie de vivre: Italy! Here, everything revolves around culinary delights, quality and the shared experience of food. The market is more than just a place to shop - it is a social meeting place where people socialise and share their love of high-quality products.

The first stop on our country tour through Europe takes us to Austria: the land of mountains, hospitality and, of course, Wiener Schnitzel. Join us in the Alpine republic and discover how the REWE Group family lives diversity, innovation and co-operative cohesion in the region.

They run, pedal, play and talk their way through life. In "Souleyman's Story" and "Marty Supreme", everything is at stake. While one of them races through the streets of Paris on his bike, the other plays his way to the top of the world in ping-pong. Both films are loosely based on true events. But despite their similarities in the story, "Souleyman's Story" and "Marty Supreme" could not be more different in their respective virtuoso styles. Only the magnificent Trine Dyrholm, for whom the six parts of "The Danish Woman" were literally written to the body, can keep up with them in terms of series - to be seen on Arte.

Outside of documentaries, nature in all its beauty and relentlessness rarely seems to play a role in cinema. The exception to this rule are two female directors whose emotional and effortlessly instructive films are helping to get the 2026 cinema year off to an extraordinary start. Firstly, there is Ildikó Enyedi, who makes an ancient ginkgo tree the centre of attention in "Silent Friend". Secondly, Chloé Zhao has taken a closer look at the life of the Shakespeare family in "Hamnet". In "The Deepest Blue", 77-year-old Tereza dives into the Brazilian Amazon region.

Three special stories shine in the run-up to Christmas: Charly Hübner becomes a satirical escape helper in "Der Held vom Bahnhof Friedrichstrasse", Eva Victor deals with an assault with black humour in "Sorry, Baby". Sky/Wow is honouring Mozart with the opulent series "Amadeus".
