German cinema holds an important place in the history of film, renowned for its technical innovation and unique aesthetic. The industry emerged at the turn of the 20th century, but it was the Weimar Era (1918-1933) that marked its golden age, producing many expressionist masterpieces. Post World War II, filmmakers of the New German Cinema movement, including Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog, further pushed cinematic boundaries. Major German filmmakers with multiple films on our site include F.W. Murnau, Fritz Lang, and Werner Herzog.
