A cinema lives from its program and its ambience. The Murnau Filmtheater is at the forefront of both. Even the building itself is impressive: the Deutsches Filmhaus is located right next to the main train station opposite the Kulturzentum Schachthof. Here, the Murnau Filmtheater has presentable neighbors, such as the Hesse regional studio of ZDF and the FSK, short for the Voluntary Self-Regulation of the Film Industry, a society that takes care of the age recommendations for films.

The Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau Foundation, named after the great director of the silent film era who wrote film history with "Nosferatu" and "The Last Man", is responsible for the house and the cinema. The foundation manages a collection of more than 6000 historical films, including icons of film history such as "Metropolis" (1925) and "The Blue Angel" (1929). The museum's repertoire is correspondingly large, but it doesn't just show black and white classics, but also offers fans of contemporary cinema some real gems. The program includes arthouse films and excellent festival films by up-and-coming directors.

The Murnau Filmtheater is not a house for the big blockbusters, but one with style, elegance, a knack for the right mix and some pretty good ideas.
