Deutsches Filmmuseum

The National Film Museum was opened in June 1994 and consists of private collections, among them the archives of producer Paul Sauerler, film historian Lotte Eisner, actress Lilian Harvey and the avant-garde filmmaker Oskar Fischinger. The history of film, its theory and aesthetics are presented in an informative and vivid form over the museum's seven floors. As well as the permanent exhibitions about film production and cinematic history, the museum also has film, poster, photographic and text archives, a library and video library, a specialist bookshop and a cafe. The Kommunale Kino (Communal Cinema) on the lower ground floor shows films from the museum's collection three to four times a day. Film weeks, retrospectives, silent films with live music, children's films, experimental and documentary films are all part of the repertoire.
