All films belonging to the DEFA Foundation's film stock are recorded in a database on this website. The entries for the individual film titles contain synopses as well as relevant filmographic information. Additions are made regularly.

Hundreds of feature films, documentaries and animated films as well as dubbings were produced in the DEFA studios.

The DEFA Foundation's film holdings are supplemented by productions from several archives, whose audiovisual testimonies provide further insights into the GDR and the Wende period.

Film still for "Zeitzeugengespräch: Dagmar Manzel"

Since the establishment of the DEFA Foundation, interviews with DEFA filmmakers have been produced on a regular basis. So far, more than 100 interviews have been produced, capturing memories of DEFA's history in sound and vision.

As things stand, not all DEFA films have survived. At this point, the DEFA Foundation draws attention to the lost films. At the same time, it hopes to obtain information about preserved film material.
