Our service

Our film archive contains over 500 German feature films in original version with English subtitles.Our collection covers a wide range of films, right from the expressionistic era to the most recent productions in German cinema.

They can be borrowed free of charge for non-commercial screenings by film clubs, film festivals, and other cultural and educational institutions of all regions in India.
