Cultural Film Institute
The Kulturfilm-Institut GmbH , also: Kulturfilm-Institut GmbH Dr. Hans Cürlis , was born on 11 July 1919 by the doctorate art historian Hans Cürlis founded in Berlin. The institute was active during the Weimar Republic , the time of National Socialism and in the young Federal Republic .
history
On February 4, 1920, Cürlis founded the Society for Cultural Research together with the animated film maker Berthold Bartosch , the film director Carl Koch and his wife, the film director Lotte Reiniger , and other people . This was a counterpart to the institute for cultural research established in 1915 at the Alma Mater Rudolphina Vindobonensis in Vienna , founded by Erwin Hanslik , the cultural geographer , the ethnologist Edmund Martin Küttler (1884–1964) and the anthropologist and lawyer Viktor Ritter von Bauer .
The purpose of this non-profit association was to “conduct scientific research into the culture of all peoples and to disseminate the research results through presentation in words, images and film”. The Society for Cultural Research set up a film department, a publishing house and an archive for educational and school films . The task of the company was to “spread political ideas and cultural messages”, especially through animation films , which the Kulturfilm-Institut GmbH was supposed to produce.
At the beginning of the 1920s, Cürlis filmed the painters Lovis Corinth , Otto Dix , Max Liebermann and Heinrich Zille at work in Berlin . In this way it was possible to record the creation of works in which a profound change in contemporary art took place.
During the Second World War, Cürlis cooperated with Riefenstahl-Film GmbH , which Arnold Fanck had commissioned to produce film documentaries by Josef Thorak (1943) and Arno Breker (1944).
