What Was to Remain of the GDR

The GDR State Film Documentation

The State Film Documentation (SFD), which operated from 1970 to 1986 at Rosenthaler Platz in Berlin, was an “exotic” organization in the GDR film industry: SFD productions were handed over to the GDR State Film Archive for storage as soon as they were completed. There, in the stacks, they were to survive for 30, 50 or even 100 years in order to serve as visual and source material for later filmmakers or academics.

Testify and Tell

Early Images of the Liberated Camps

How did post-war societies come to terms with the experience of violence and destruction caused by the Second World War and the occupation of large parts of Europe by National Socialist Germany? This question will be the focus of the exhibition at the Deutsches Historisches Museum from May 24, 2025. "On Displaying Violence: First Exhibitions on the Nazi Occupation in Europe, 1945-1948" and the film programme "Testify and Tell. Early Images of the Liberated Camps" in the Zeughauskino.
