Support

Since 1998, the Förderkreis (support association) of the Museum für Film und Fernsehen has been assisting the Deutsche Kinemathek – Museum für Film und Fernsehen to fulfill its central tasks of collecting, preserving, researching and archiving, presenting and mediating the world’s audiovisual heritage. The various forms this support takes include:

• Co-financing of exhibitions, scholarly projects and publications
• The acquisition and restoration of documents and collections related to film history
• Cooperation on select offers in the field of educational services
• Modern replacements and expansion of the museum’s technical equipment

You’ll enjoy many advantages as a member of the Förderkreis: Among other things, you’ll receive invitations to all exhibition openings and special events at the Deutsche Kinemathek – Museum für Film und Fernsehen; you and a guest can visit the museum year-round free of charge; and you can take part in exclusive tours through the exhibitions, where you’ll have the opportunity to join into conversations with the curators.

Detailed information (in German) about the Förderkreis and membership can be found on the website.

The Deutsche Kinemathek relies on commercial and private donations.  Many of our concepts would simply not be possible without this additional support.  Any and all donations are welcome, whether one-time or recurring. If one of our projects in particular speaks to you, you are always welcome to make a targeted gift.

Your donations are tax deductible. For those living within Germany, donations of up to 200 € can be documented for tax purposes through a simple proof of payment (such as a bank statement). We would be happy to prepare an official donation receipt for contributions over 200 €. Please be sure to include your name and address in the reference line of the bank transfer so that we can send a receipt to you.
