Filmmuseum Potsdam » Programmes

Certainly, the significance of film and cinema programmes illustrating and documenting film history is beyond dispute. There are innumerable series of film programmes that were issued by various publishers. Partly, these booklets are assigned to the general advertising material. Chronological collections on three series exist that give an almost complete account of German film and cinema history from 1919 to 1990. They are numbered consecutively, thus admitting a survey of the collection′s completeness.

Illustrierter Film-Kurier
The "Illustrierter Film-Kurier" was the archetype of later film programmes.

Programmes of Progress Filmverleih
The programmes of "Progress Filmverleih" give an almost complete account of films shown in GDR cinemas.

Illustrierte Film-Bühne
The "Illustrierte Film-Bühne" illustrates the cinema history of the FGR until the 1960s.
