Film history on the road!

Beim Dreh zu F. W. Murnaus "Tabu"

Cinema has been characterized by mobility since its beginnings. At the beginning of film history, traveling cinemas and traveling showmen turned cinema and the Kintopp into an entertainment industry on the move. Pioneers such as the brothers Max and Emil Skladanowsky from Berlin-Pankow or the Chemnitz camera pioneer Guido Seeber advertised their curiosity programs in circus style. Even the first diva of German film, Asta Nielsen, traveled to Spain with the film crew for the shooting of 'Death in Seville', and director F.W. Murnau shot his last film 'Tabu' entirely in the South Seas. Decades later, Werner Herzog made his 'Fitzcarraldo' in Peru, and Wim Wenders was drawn to the Australian outbacks for 'To the End of the World'. Technical equipment and props, as well as the belongings of stars and starlets, have always been packed, shipped and transported to remote locations halfway around the world and back again. And to this day, moving from shoot to shoot, from location to location, is part of almost every film production and film career.

On the occasion of the upcoming relocation of the Kinemathek, the tour invites visitors to view objects that reflect the mobility of filmmaking and at the same time offer exciting insights into film production and history.
