The Internet Archive contains films and photos taken in 1989 and 1990, during the time of the Fall of the Wall and the reunification. All of the material is from private collections, making the Archive a very personal collection of impressions and atmospheres, and affording the observer a different glimpse of historical events and their effects on daily life in both the East and the West. The collection will be constantly expanding. Be a part of the project by submitting your photos and films, and the stories behind them.
The Internet Archive is a cooperative project by the Deutsche Kinemathek and the Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung.
The Deutsche Kinemathek – Museum for Film and Television will display a selection of the photos and films as part of a corresponding exhibit from May 1 – November 9, 2009. The exhibit is made possible in part through support from the Beauftragter der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien."
