FilmDokument: Auto-Kino

Since entering the market, the Volkswagen production plant in Wolfsburg has continuously made an effort to bring moving images of the production process in its factory halls to the movie theaters. This program presents a selection of corporate films that were commissioned by Volkswagen during the years of the economic miracle in Germany and that focus on the production of the automobile sold throughout the world. The time-related cross-section allows drawing exciting comparisons: What filmic motifs were at the fore immediately after the end of the war, once car-making was resumed? How did the content and shape of the cinematic images of series production change during the course of the "long 1950s"?
