Wiederentdeckt
2026
On the first Friday of every month, we present treasures from German film history. Wiederentdeckt shows feature films that have fallen into oblivion, were overlooked by their contemporary audiences, or have been underestimated or ignored by film historians to this day. The program focuses on ambitious mavericks as well as representatives of genre cinema, and includes both marginal and popular works from all phases of German feature film history. The series invites viewers not only to revisit films, but also to reevaluate their judgments and memories. Each program is introduced by speakers who give the audience insight into the special features of the films and the stories behind their creation. The results are published in Filmblatt, the only journal dedicated to German-language film heritage. Wiederentdeckt is curated by Cinegraph Babelsberg in close cooperation with the Bundesarchiv, the Deutsche Kinemathek, and the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung.
