Arse­nal Filmin­sti­tut, Deutsche Kine­math­ek and DFFB renew coop­er­a­tion for a strong future of film cul­ture

The Arse­nal Filmin­sti­tut e.V., the Deutsche Kine­math­ek – Muse­um für Film und Fernse­hen and the Deutsche Film- und Fernse­hakademie Berlin (DFFB) are fur­ther expand­ing their col­lab­o­ra­tion. In the future premis­es of the DFFB, the lead­er­ship of the three insti­tu­tions signed an agree­ment that builds on their suc­cess­ful coop­er­a­tion at the for­mer Filmhaus at Pots­damer Platz.

The aim is to sus­tain­ably rein­force Berlin’s film cul­ture, fos­ter exchange between film­mak­ers, audi­ences and insti­tu­tions, and enhance the vis­i­bil­i­ty of audio­vi­su­al her­itage. Despite oper­at­ing from sep­a­rate loca­tions in the future—Arsenal at silent green, the Deutsche Kine­math­ek at E‑Werk, and the DFFB from August at the Berlin Decks campus—the part­ners will con­tin­ue and expand their close coop­er­a­tion.

Planned ini­tia­tives include joint projects and events, sup­port for emerg­ing tal­ent, and clos­er col­lab­o­ra­tion in teach­ing, research and archival work. With this agree­ment, the three insti­tu­tions reaf­firm their com­mit­ment to a vibrant, diverse and for­ward-look­ing film cul­ture in Berlin.
