Exhibitions

When the Deutsche Kinemathek moved to the Filmhaus on Potsdamer Platz in September 2000, the Berlin Film Museum was brought into being. Its permanent exhibition displays exhibits from the entire German film history, including the exile in Hollywood in the era of National Socialism , for example: movie posters, photographs, film costumes, architectural sketches, props. A special focus is dedicated to the actress Marlene Dietrich , who had an extensive private collection herself.

Since June 1, 2006, the museum has been expanded to include a television museum. The name of the institution was changed to Deutsche Kinemathek - Museum für Film und Fernsehen .

In addition to the permanent exhibition, special exhibitions are shown. During the Berlinale in February each year, exhibitions are also presented that accompany the respective festival retrospective .

The museum has a library with extensive holdings of film literature and specialist journals, including important early journals such as Der Kinematograph , Die Lichtbild-Bühne and the Film-Kurier . Until it moved to the Film Museum, the library belonged to the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (dffb).

The museum is a member of the German Kinematheksverbund .
