Arsenal - Institute for Film and Video Art
The Arsenal – Institute for Film and Video Art (formerly known as the Freunde der deutschen Kinemathek) was established in 1963. Thanks to their wide-ranging program work at the affiliated arsenal cinema, as well as their decades-long organization of the Forum Section of the Berlin Film Festival, movies from around the world of all lengths and genres have found their way into the Arsenal’s permanent collection. Today this collection houses some 6,000 titles. Nearly 2,000 titles are currently on offer through the arsenal distribution company. In 2002, this section was expanded to include experimental film and audiovisual works in a fine art context. Along with the cinema and distribution company, the Arsenal – Institute for Film and Video Art acts as an intermediary and educational resource and offers accompanying research and transfer of knowledge. For the first time, Arsenal is offering a selection of films from our distribution program for immediate online use, with plans to gradually increase the number of films permanently available on our VoD channel at realeyz.tv
