from 12 April to 25 August 2019. We hope that
you did not miss it!
Four posters are from the Weimar Era (Das Flötenkonzert von Sans Soucci, Geheimdienst, Morgenrot x 2) and one is from the BRD (Tiefland). The remaining 42 posters are from the Third Reich. The posters are both original German posters as well as from various other European countries which distributed German films in these years – Sweden, France, Belgium, Finland, and Occupied Czechoslovakia (a/k/a Protektorat -Böhmen & Mähren.)
Below the cover of the Poster Exhibition brochure, as well as two Potsdam newspaper reviews which appeared one day before the opening on April 12th. Further coverage also appeared in Berlin newspapers, without photographs of posters, as well as on television news channels.
