In the museum cinema, the projection room still rattles and nothing works without a projectionist. Original ERNEMANN VII B cinema projectors from the museum's own collection are regularly put into operation and take you back to the world of film. 35mm and 16mm film technology can be experienced here.
Silent film evenings with piano accompaniment are a speciality. Film series, specials, talks with filmmakers and a daily cinema programme make the small cinema a meeting place for cineastes
In 2018, the ERNEMANN VII B museum cinema received one of the DEFA Foundation's three programme awards.
