Accompanying Program for the Exhibition “Inventing Queer Cinema”
With “Inventing Queer Cinema,” the Deutsche Kinemathek is opening its first exhibition at its new location in Berlin’s E-Werk—and, at the same time, a new chapter in its work on queer film culture.

The exhibition is also the first comprehensive exhibition project at the Kinemathek to be presented under Artistic Director Heleen Gerritsen, who has been in office since 2025.
“Inventing Queer Cinema” sheds light on German queer film history—a history of resistance, solidarity, and innovation that extends into the present.
The tour with the Artistic Director offers unique insights into the exhibition, its concept, and its genesis, as well as a preview of the Kinemathek’s programmatic direction at its new location.
