Right from the start, press photographers have always accompanied, documented and interpreted the Berlin International Film Festival. The Deutsche Kinemathek archives a number of estates of photographers, who focused primarily on social film events in Berlin. The special appeal of these collections is nevertheless concealed in the marginalia of the actual motifs, reflecting casually captured moments of fashion, zeitgeist, everyday life and our society’s representation culture and consumerism. The exhibition "Between the Films – A Photo History of the Berlinale" documents the work of photographers, and correspondingly, everything that makes the Berlinale so characteristic – i.e. everything that takes place Between the Films.

Costumes and props, photographs, film scripts, sketches and designs of sets and models, cameras and film footage – film history is brought to life by a wide range of objects in the Permanent Exhibition. In twelve rooms, the museum recounts the beginnings of German cinema, of early film stars and classics (e.g., Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari and Metropolis), of the golden era of German cinema during the Weimar Republic, and its misuse under National Socialism. The exhibition portrays the situation of German filmmakers and artists living in exile, and on their return after World War II. Two rooms are devoted to German film from the postwar period to the present. A central theme of the exhibition is dedicated to Marlene Dietrich’s estate.
