The Deutsche Kinemathek film distribution offers a diverse range of films from all decades and genres. These include silent film classics as well as auteur and avant-garde movies, socio-critical documentaries, and mainstream cinema. Our film distribution division has a wide range of experimental films as well as works by students from the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (DFFB). Particular attention is paid to films by historically underrepresented filmmakers, including films by women, for example, and transcultural cinema. Our holdings are complemented by a diverse selection of Berlin-themed films.
Our film distribution section also includes the entire collection of the DEFA Studios. These comprise feature and documentary films shot between 1946 and 1992 in the GDR, numerous editions of the weekly cinema show ‘Der Augenzeuge’ (The Eyewitness), and classic films from the former socialist countries.
