German film library featuring scenes from famous German films, 1920s stars, costumes and much more.
Since its foundation in 1962, the German Film Archive has collected a large amount of documentation (films, objects, photos, scripts, etc.), part of which is now on display here. The entrance to the exhibition leads us through a corridor of screens and mirrors reflecting scenes from famous German films. A nice way to go behind the scenes of the dream industry. Stroll through the rooms dedicated to the stars of the 1920s, such as Henny Porten, Asta Nielsen, and of course Marlene Dietrich, to whom a rotunda is dedicated where some of her costumes are on display. Then discover the glory days of the UFA studios, with their expressionist productions. You will be able to see excerpts from the visionary Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and relive key scenes from Fritz Lang's Metropolis. But the pinnacle of German film production came with the Nazi takeover in 1933. Many artists had to go into exile. Others, such as Leni Riefenstahl, decided to put their talent at the service of Nazism. After the part devoted to the post-war period (Wenders, Fassbinder, Trotta...), the last room focuses on the cinema of the last thirty years. One will be able to (re) see extracts of Good Bye Lenin! or Lola rennt. The cinematheque also has a Museum of Television and offers temporary exhibitions. The most cinema-lovers will be able to consult the programming of the Kino Arsenal, which offers retrospectives.
