Berlinale
Showcases in the Cold War. New research on the history of the Berlinale in the Alfred Bauer era
Public panel discussion
- Dialogue
After media publications revealed in 2020 that the role of the first director of the Berlinale, Alfred Bauer, in the Reichsfilmintendanz was more significant than had been previously realised, the Berlinale commissioned the independent Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History (IfZ) to examine Alfred Bauer’s position in the Nazi film bureaucracy more closely.
Considering the results of the 2020 preliminary study, the Berlinale management asked itself how the view of the founding years of the Berlinale was being altered as a result, but also whether Bauer’s Nazi involvement had an impact on the design of the festival. The IfZ was therefore commissioned to expand the study.
