About us

The Deutsche Kinemathek – Museum für Film und Fernsehen

The Deutsche Kinemathek is one of Europe’s leading institutions for audiovisual heritage. From 2025, it will relocate to E-Werk in Berlin-Mitte, while the planning of a new film house continues. The Kinemathek’s programme will continue in this temporary location and will include established formats and new concepts that offer fascinating insights into film and television culture. 

The Kinemathek supports the exploration of the moving image with a diverse educational and event programme. Its archives and specialist library are central points of contact for research and science, and will remain accessible. The film distribution library, which lists some 20,000 titles, continues to be an important part of the cinema library, alongside film series and festivals. 

Until 31 October 2024, the Kinemathek hosted a permanent exhibition on German film and television history in its Museum of Film and Television, which was supplemented by special exhibitions. In the second half of 2025, it will resume this exhibition at E-Werk.
