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.
Calendar
The call
Museum cinema Ernemann VII B
Director: Josef von Baky, FRG, 1949, 104 min, Actors: Fritz Kortner, Rosemarie Murphy and others.
The emigrated Jewish philosopher Professor Mauthner is offered a position at a German university and returns full of ideals. But he encounters rejection, mistrust and covert anti-Semitism. The film, with Fritz Kortner in the leading role, is a key work of the post-war period. It dissects the divided attitude of the Germans and the immense gap between those who stayed and those who had to leave.
Followed by a film talk
Markus Jüngling talks to historian Prof. Dr Marita Krauss about the background to the film Der Ruf, the artistic personality of Fritz Kortner and the experiences of Jewish remigrants in West Germany.

Bulgaria 1943: German Wehrmacht soldier Walter falls in love with the Jewish woman Ruth, who is waiting with other fellow sufferers to be transported to a camp. Wolf's poetic and deeply humanistic film, a German-Bulgarian co-production, tells of the impossibility of love and individual humanity in the face of the bureaucratic cruelty of the Holocaust. An early plea for compassion and civil courage.

David
Museum cinema Ernemann VII B
Director: Peter Lilienthal, FRG, 1979, 127', Actors: Mario Fischel, Valter Taub, Eva Mattes a.o.
Berlin 1943: Jewish boy David Singer survives persecution, hidden by non-Jewish Germans. Lilienthal's film, which won the Golden Bear, is told sensitively and consistently from the child's perspective. He does not show the great horrors, but the everyday life of terror, the constant fear, the mistrust and the gruelling wait for rescue. A quiet and intense portrait of survival.

Levin's mill
Club cinema in the Lingnerschloss
Director: Horst Seemann, GDR, 1980, 118', Actors: Christian Grashof, Erwin Geschonneck, Kurt Böwe and others.
East Prussia, 1874: Jewish mill owner Levin defends himself against his deceitful German competitor, who is trying to drive him out by any means necessary. Based on the novella by Johannes Bobrowski, Horst Seemann's DEFA film creates a multi-layered portrait of morality. It not only tells a gripping story of greed and justice, but also dissects the everyday anti-Semitism of the village community and poses the question of moral courage and justice.

Everything on sugar!
Club cinema in the Lingnerschloss
2004, Dani Levy, DE, 2004, 95', Actors: Henry Hübchen, Hannelore Elsner, Rolf Hoppe and others.
The secular sports reporter Jaeckie Zucker, alias "Zucki", urgently needs his deceased mother's inheritance. But the will stipulates that he must first reconcile with his orthodox brother. Ley's turbulent comedy confronts two completely different Jewish worlds in modern Germany and celebrates the reconciliation of tradition and the present with humour and warmth, without ignoring the wounds of the past.
Afterwards: film talk
Andreas Körner talks to director Dani Levy about his film "Alles auf Zucker!". Levy began his career at the children's and youth theatre "Rote Grütze". After his successful cinema debut "Du mich auch", he made feature films in Germany and the USA. He won numerous awards for his comedies "Alles auf Zucker!", "Mein Führer" and "Das Leben ist zu lang", including the Ernst Lubitsch Prize and several German Film Awards. Together with Stefan Arndt, Tom Tykwer and Wolfgang Becker, he founded the production company X Filme Creative Pool in 1994. Levy lives with his family in Berlin and sees his Jewish roots as an important part of his life and work.
