On Throwback Thursday I bring you another cool but closed exhibition from the Film Museum in Berlin. Modern Cinema, Film in The Weimar Republic showcased the links between cinema and everyday culture, and especially the technical innovations in the film industry of that period.
Cinema of the era 100 years ago perfectly reflected all the changes in society, from fashion to sports, and even gender issues.
There was even a special section of the exhibition dedicated to female professionals within the film industry: producers, screenwriters, directors, set designers. It served as a great reminder of how far we’ve come and how far we still need to go in terms of equality and diversity in the film industry.
What I loved about the exhibition was that it was divided into sections dedicated to fashion, sport, psychology, night life and other different parts of a modern life in the 1920s. Each section also had short accompanying videos about the topic.
Throughout the exhibition you could also see various models of the Metropolis film set which usually cannot be seen in the permanent collection, so it was a special treat.
It was definitely one of my favourite exhibitions that I’ve ever seen at the Film Museum.
