THREE EXHIBITIONS AT FILMMUSEUM BERLIN

The Goethe Institute's Film Expert Tour visited three exhibitions at Filmmuseum Berlin, hosted by Dr. Rolf Giesen, 15 Feb 2005.
1. THE FILMMUSEUM BERLIN PERMANENT EXHIBITION covers the history of German cinema from Skladanowsky to the present day, with special emphases on the Marlene Dietrich collection, part of which is also on display at the KaDeWe department store and the Paul Kohner collection (Paul Weisz had reportedly just paid a visit).
2. ARTIFICIAL WORLDS is a wonderful introduction to special effects and fantasy film, with an emphasis on Ray Harryhausen.
3. THE PRODUCTION DESIGN & FILM exhibition is linked with the Retrospective of the Berlinale. Bewegte Räume is the German title. Five aspects are covered: Interiors, Transit, Power, Stage, and Labyrinth. Among the Berlinale guests is Sir Kenneth Adam, whose work is presented both here and in the Kubrick exhibition.
