Silent Film Highlights

From the holdings of the Deutsche Kinemathek: Classics of silent cinema

The film archive of the Deutsche Kinemathek contains works from all eras of German and international filmmaking. There are examples of all genres of feature and documentary film as well as experimental films and ephemeral films such as home movies, commercials and trailers. The collection does not aim for completeness, but rather represents a curated offer to film research and the general public. A central focus of the Deutsche Kinemathek's collecting activities are works from the early days of film: fascinating silent films, of which we present a small selection in this collection.
