Living Archive Membership
Fifty-five years since Arsenal was founded, our collection now comprises some 10,000 titles, including numerous unique items. Political cinema, experimental film, independent cinema: On the basis of our institution’s living history and its global networks, our archive reflects half a century of film art. As part of contemporary projects by artists, curators and academics, films that were long invisible are now being digitalized and if need be restored. They can now reach audiences not only in Berlin, but all over the world. Some of them are returning as digital copies to where they were once produced and lost.
By becoming a Supporting Member of Living Archive, you will be helping us to continue our archive work.
2025: Living Archive on Location
At the beginning of 2025, Arsenal moved into new premises in the silent green Kulturquartier in Berlin-Wedding and Arsenal will begin a year without its own cinema until the new auditorium opens at the beginning of 2026. Under the title Arsenal on Location, Arsenal 2025 will create film series and programmes in close cooperation with Berlin cultural institutions and arthouse cinemas, nationwide with municipal cinemas and internationally with the Goethe-Institut and partner institutions.
As a Living Archive member, you will therefore be a regular guest at cooperating venues in our Berlin-wide network in 2025. Join us and support us and our partners!
