Developed and implimented a fresh and flexible temporary exhibition planning strategy and curatorial team, focusing on diversifying audiences and establishing a coherent, marketable strategy for content presentation. Categories include a balance of conceptual and collections-based topics, filmmaker partnerships, immersive and projection-based experiences, and touring exhibition rotations with international partners. Selected exhibitions include:
- “Catastrophe, of What Comes After the End?” focused on the appeal of natural disasters in narrative film, and the impacts of climate change themes on storytelling (presented with the Senckenberg Natural History Museum)
- “Film Under Water,” an immersive aquatic projection environment
- “Weimar Women,” highlighting extensive rediscoveries of female, queer and gender-diverse filmmakers from the ‘20s and ‘30s
- “Lichtspielplatz,” a creative experiential environment which introduced film aesthetics to young children
- “New Voices in German Film,” exploring the impacts of digital filmmaking and identity politics, in the context of profound generational increases in German filmmakers and audiences with migration backgrounds
