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.

The invisible citizen – Erich Kästner as screenwriter

19.1. – 19.4.2024

A film series as part of »ALLES KÄSTNER - Events to mark the 125th birthday of Erich Kästner«

The screenwriter Erich Kästner liked to remain in the shadows. As an aspiring writer and media all-rounder in the Weimar Republic, the medium of film was a means of expression and a source of income for him. However, Kästner learnt to write screenplays in collaboration with other authors and his contributions often remained unnamed or concealed. In Nazi Germany, the confidently ironic play with authorial identities became a bitter necessity: Erich Kästner came to terms with the circumstances and was only able to publish under pseudonyms such as »Berthold Bürger«. When he wrote his most ambitious screenplay, the UFA anniversary film «Münchhausen«, he was omitted from the credits. Rehabilitated as a classic in West Germany, Kästner adapted his own works for film: true to the original, but sensitive to the current zeitgeist.

We would like to thank the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung, MFA-Film and the film agents, the Stiftung Medienarchiv Bielefeld for their support in procuring the film and for the visual material.

Dresden Silent Film Festival

Silent films and live music in the ERNEMANN VII B museum cinema and other venues

The Dresden Silent Film Festival shows rarities from the early years of film art on a theme that has long been at home in the science exhibitions of the Technology Collections: the science and technology-driven utopias and dystopias of science fiction. On display are classics such as »Metropolis« and »Aelita« as well as rarely shown works such as »A Cosmic Journey« and »Miracle of Creation«. The latter is regarded as a forerunner of modern documentary film, which shows hypothetical journeys in the solar system and to distant stars and is based on the state of knowledge of contemporary astronomy.

ANIMANIA – Films of the German Institute for Animated Film

Ausstellungsbegleitende Filmreihen

ANIMANIA is the name of the series of events that the DIAF has been presenting in cooperation with the Dresden Technology Collections in the ERNEMANN VII B museum cinema since January 2017. To accompany the permanent or current special exhibition, the institute shows specially curated film programmes for an adult audience on ANIMANIA evenings. In addition to poetic, humorous, sad, but always charming and sophisticated works, film experiments are also occasionally shown on the screen. Occasionally, filmmakers are guests who provide insights into the artistic and technical creative process, contextualise their films and answer questions from the audience.

Abstrakt, verfremdet, figürlich: Animatoren schöpfen einzelbildweise Welten.
Nahezu alles ist animierbar: Objekte, Zeichnungen, Fotos, Filz, Knete, Tee …
In zeitaufwendiger Leidenschaft entsteht Kunst im Atelier, im Studio, am PC.
Making-of-, DEFA- oder Sonder-Reihen, oft mit Gästen:
ANIMANIA ist das ausstellungsbegleitende Animationsfilmprogramm im Museumskino.
