A look at film history

During this time, the German film economy produced 500 films, which droves the cinemas, as the wikipedia noted. Film genres such as adventure, crime and entertainment films were then and today very popular and address a wide audience.

The little-known roots of the mountain film genre in Germany, which in the 1920s by works like Paul Wegener's "Golem, how he was shaped" (1920) are also fascinating.
