Probably my favourite place in Frankfurt. There is a fantastic 4 screen installation on the second floor a I believe where they display a beautiful movie clip collage of the key elements of film. I'm not entirely sure how long we were sat there but it was like we were sucked into this experience for surely over an hour, and I wasn't mad at it. Reminds me the triptych paintings in the Rothko chapel, except this is film art. On the same floor there is also an interactive section where you can experience how green screens work, and the power lighting has in story telling. Our admission was for the permanent exhibit and also Space Odessey exhibit they had the time, it was about 13€, definitely worth it, I think just the permanent exhibit was about 6€. It's a great museum. Would definitely come again if I am ever in Frankfurt.

Definitely one of the top museums I've been to. A great concept and idea for the exhibitions, very well organized, a lot of highly valuable information and thought-provoking content, a lot of interactivity, a lot of samples, can't think of many things that they could have done better. Valuable for both long-time cinema fans and those who don't know much about it.

(Translated by Google) Check back again and again! Educational and fun is not neglected either! For the whole family. (Original) Immer wieder mal reinschauen! Lehrreich und der Spaß kommt auch nicht zu kurz! Für die ganze Familie.

(Translated by Google) Lots of interactive options, even if a few things were blocked due to Corona. Normal exhibition extends over 2 floors but is still a bit small. (Original) Viele interaktive Möglichkeiten, auch wenn ein paar Sachen aufgrund von Corona gesperrt waren. Normale Ausstellung erstreckt sich über 2 Stockwerke ist aber dennoch etwas klein.

Ein sehr interessantes und interaktives Erlebnis rund um die Entstehung von Film und dessen Entwicklung. Viel zum Staunen und zum Entdecken. Allerdings fehlt mir der Bezug zur heutigen Zeit. Viel aus der alten Zeit. Es macht Spaß sich treiben zu lassen. Allerdings erfährt die Sache einen Wehmutstropfen. Die Kassiererin war und gegenüber so derart unfreundlich, dass wir uns minutenlang mit der Dame auseinander setzen mussten. Als Touristen waren wir nicht vorbereitet auf das Gesamtprogramm im Haus. Die Dame hat von uns erwartet, dass wir im Vorfeld genau wissen was wir wollen. Da wir aber nicht wußten was insgesamt geboten wird, hatte sie keine Lust und Engagement uns dies zu erklären. Zwei Sterne Abzug für Lustlosigkeit und Arroganz.

Ein interessantes modernes Museum zur Geschichte von und Infos rund um das Filmemachen, teilweise auch interaktiv. Die Sonderausstellung zu Frauen im Film in der Weimarer Republik gefiel mir gut. Mir persönlich hat nur oft zu einzelnen Exponaten, Fotos etc. noch mehr Information zum Kontext gefehlt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist auch das Einbinden von queeren Themen und rassismuskritischen Betrachtungen!

Super interesting and unique museum with two floors in the permanent exhibition. Lots of immersive exhibits and two areas where you can sit and watch clips. The full two floors will take around 2 hours to explore fully. Also, the toilets here are really pretty!

Amazing place! I was expecting a boring exhibition but instead I found alien suits and star wars props 10/10

We really enjoyed our visit here:) We didn't have a lot of time to walk around the exhibitions (we had an hour roughly) but we still covered both open exhibitions. There is one permanent exhibition and the other one - "Katastrophe" was the temporary exhibition that portrayed catastrophic events and disasters in movies. Both exhibitions were great but we liked the permanent one better, thought it was more interesting and appealing:) It is also more interactive and has many unique items on display. They have reduced-priced tickets for students. I would recommend checking out this museum if you're around!

This museum is really worth visiting. We spent 2 hours here but one can easilly spend more time as well.. :) I was so happy to see sketches from Snow White and Peter Pan. The video compillations they show are nicely illustrating how light, colours and editing express feelings.

Very interesting museum with interactive exhibits. Informative movies to watch from the beginning of cinema to the present day. We particularly enjoyed the green screen experience.

A fascinating place with great exhibits. The examples of early film technology were interesting and the information that explains how modern films are made was fantastic. We spend a good 2 hours going around, taking in all the facts and watching the film snippets. Highly recommended if you're looking for something to do in Frankfurt and you love movies.

(Translated by Google) I really liked it there, despite wearing masks. I will visit the current special exhibition again and then give myself more time. On the whole it's super interesting and you can try something out yourself! (Original) Mir hat es dort, trotz Masken tragen sehr gut gefallen. Die aktuelle Sonderausstellung werde ich noch einmal besuchen und mir dann mehr Zeit lassen. Es ist im ganzen super interessant und man kann auch selbst etwas ausprobieren!

It wasn’t big but so fun lt is 3 euro for students . Totally worth it inst@tayfunslife

We really had a lot of time in front of the green background where you see yourself in an animation. It was cool! Also you have a chance to play with dialogues and background music for some iconic scenes from iconic films like Matrix.

A very interesting museum to learn about filming from the past until today. Definitely a nice place to check out when you're in Frankfurt.

such a unique and captivating place! we loved all the things you could interact with on the first floor, and we especially enjoyed the light + color exhibit that compared the same pattern in different movies on the second floor. and the staff couldn’t have been nicer! especially the lady at the reception and the staff at the cafe (that serves a mean cup of coffee and has the tastiest cheesecakes)! if you’re looking for something fun (and unexpectedly fascinating) to do on your visit to frankfurt, look no further! this is the place.

(Translated by Google) I had really fun there for the first time and you should go there more often. YouTube HOLZKOPFKÖNIG ✌ (Original) Dort habe ich zum ersten mal richtig Spaß gehabt sollte man öfters hingehen. YouTube HOLZKOPFKÖNIG ✌

Excellent, exhaustive compilation of cinema material and tools throughout the history of (motion) pictures, such as caleidoscopes, stroboscopes, magic lanterns, lamascopes, camera obscuras, kinenatofors, zoetropes, mutoscopes, kinoras, flip books, and many others. Nearly all explanations are in English and German. The green screen (where you could take a family pic on a magic carpet) and the kids' crafts (where they can make flip books), both on the top floor, provide the visitors with extra fun and they round the visit up.

My visit to the museum was incredible! I love films and I was truly impressed by the collection. A variety of film gear from the past, surprising props from the famous films and of course the way everything is organized and structured! Besides, we get to participate in a game where you look at a picture for one second and then had describe it to your team partner. The winning team gets a prize! Fantastic experience. I will treasure the memories from this museum. Recommend it to anyone!

Tolles Museum. Groß und voller schöner Filme,Plakate und Requisiten aus großen und bekannten Filmproduktionen. Der Lichtspielplatz ist die Ausstellung für Kinder und wirklich sehr empfehlenswert. Ein toller Ort um sich auszuprobieren,zu experimentieren und Spaß zu haben. Für den Lichtspielplatz haben wir uns, da wir mit 12Kindern ( Hort Ferienspiele) hin sind natürlich vorher angemeldet.

Tolles Museum, dass den Film vom Anfang bis zur Gegenwart in ansprechenden Ausstellungsstückdn und vielen interaktiven Elementen erklärt. Man kann viel ausprobieren und selbst Teil der Filmgeschichte werden.

Nice museum illustrating the history of film and all of parts needed to become a film. Lots of interactive section where both adults and childrens can enjoy the charm of film making. Only €6 per person for all the fun. Although I have expected more in-depth section of German expressionismus film since its in Frankfurt, the museum focuses on general history of film. Still it was worth visiting👍🏻

War gut und interessant - habe aber nichts neues gelernt. Mir hat der Nachmittag am Wochenende in diesem Museum gut gefallen. In ca. 2 Stunden haben wir und beide Ausstellungsetagen angesehen. Für 6€ Eintritt gibt es definitiv nichts zu kritisieren. Ich wünschte man hätte mehr ausprobieren können. Die Ausstellung ist auch für Kinder geeignet.

Fast rotation of new exhibitions (which is good). Awesome and eye-catching movie collage exhibition on the floor with modern filming technologies.

Current exhibition about catastrophe is very thought provoking and even chilling when to think about it. I like the idea of disaster movies being a spark for a discussion about (upcoming) real life changes. I also enjoy going to the cinema at the museum

A must see experience if you're a film lover. The permanent exhibition has lots of valuable pieces from history of cinema. When I visited there was a temporary exhibition called 'Katastrophe' which was interesting as well. The ticket prices are reasonable and there's discount for students. Great place to spend time when in Frankfurt.

One of the most interesting museums I’ve seen. The first two floors cover the history of moving pictures, from early optical illusions and cycloramas to early camera obscura set ups and trick photography. The top floor has lots of different interactive and multimedia displays of different techniques and technical aspects in filmmaking. It’s a fantastic museum to visit if you have a couple of hours in Frankfurt. They also have a small theater on the lower floor where they show currrent and classic films from different countries. Non-German films are subtitled in German.

I'm not really interested in cinema, but it was so captivating! I spent almost two hours there, and I didn't regret it at all.

An interesting museum with some fun moments, such as the interactive green screen and lighting. The staff were polite but it wasn't very well explained where we needed to go. I was also expecting more from the museum, but it didn't take long to get through.

I liked our visit But was Way smaller than I expected Cheap to enter using the Frankfurt card I expected more displays

The museum isn’t big, but there are some interesting things. I enjoyed the movie collages and the interactive exhibits.

Interactive and informative!! Lovely museum with permanent and temporary exhibitions.

The museum is really interesting with its interactive exhibition. It's not a huge museum that you have way too much to see, but still you can gain a lot through visiting. It takes about 2 hours to finish everything. Definitely recommend it :)

A museum for all film lovers where they will teach you about the history of film, interactively use all historical film props and enjoy famous shots. Shooting and taking pictures with a flash is prohibited inside the facility. The entrance fee is 6 euros, and if you want interactive content, you pay 12 euros. There is a cinema on the ground floor of the building! :)

A beautiful collage of the history of big screen from the beginning of screen capture in the 19th century till the special effects of the early 21st century. The permanent exhibition is exciting but there is always a beautiful theme playing in temporary display. The collection of instruments used for screen capture for over one and half centuries is stunning.

A nice little museum charting the origin of moving images and film. I only visited the permanent exhibition which is split between early history and modern cinematography/film making. If I had one objection it’s that there was a bit of a disconnect between the 2 halves.

to be honest I am disappointed. I have bought full price ticket for 12€, including the main exhibition and the temporary one. temporary was about disasters. the whole museum is boring, there is too few information and interactivity. I wouldn't recommend it to buy. better to wait museum night or something

Amazing museum dedicated to the history of cinematography(Film/Movie). It show’s exits of some costumes used for epic movies (as Predator vs. Allien). The second part has some interactive screens especially interesting for kids.

It was interesting museum. It's about history of cinema ,and you have an opportunity to watch the first films. The pictures are not allowed.

This is a place you have to visit! It’s contemporary trends capable with antiqued collections. And you could also have fun and interactive from some expo furnishings, such as filming editing and green scream!

Not big, but we liked the way it conveys the beginning of cinema, with concrete examples, it is interactive, so you can experience it all by yourself. A lot of information in english. TIme to spend - about 2 hours.

Amazing film selection. Nice cake too at the cafeteria

Had to come and rate this place with an easy 5 stars. It's not a huge museum but what it lacks in space they make up for with great interactive experiences. As a film buff I felt like a kid in a candy store. As a scuba diver I felt even better as their temporary exhibit housed an underwater film display. Their exhibits on the history of film are very informative and even better is the fact that you can use some of the old equipment. Additionally their little movie rooms are great and they've taken care to show you clips that are very relevant to what's in the museum. Finally I thought their green screen and editing rooms were amazing and I spent way too much time in there playing with things. I would say this is a must see in Frankfurt.

Very interesting and interactive museum. Slightly leaning on the expensive side especially if one buys the combined ticket (€12 for adults). They also have a cinema that regularly screens not-so-mainstream movies at a price lower than commercial cinemas, which is worth checking out.

We had a great visit here. The exhibit on filming underwater was really cool. Inexpensive and informative.

Good experience, the staff is kind and comprehensive, the animations are really good I highly recommend

Great museum.... but the coffee in the cafe is just horrible!! Please learn how to use the machine and how to make coffee! There are differences between cappuccino and cafe latte! Avoid the café.

(Translated by Google) Small museum in a good location by the museum embankment. There is a cafe and a small shop on the ground floor. The exhibition method could be adapted to today's times. The special exhibition was nicely done, but I would have expected a little more for 9 EUR. (Original) Kleines Museum in guter Lage des Museumsufer. Es gibt ein Cafe und einen kleinen Shop im EG.

Informative

I had a great time here. Great permanent collection that follows the scientific developments leading to film and movies. It's not too big, a couple of floors, but I was here for 3 hours, and could have easily stayed longer.

Great museum! Professional, informative, and fun. Had a really good time here and admission only 6EUR for adult.

Spent three hours here. One of my favorite museums I have been to! Interactive throughout the whole thing. It includes the history of photography and film to modern day cinema. Highly recommend!

A good museum for movies funs.

Great museum, staff is competent and love to share their knowledge. They have a Disney expo until January and it’s definitely worth checking out. I’m looking forward to the next one.

(Translated by Google) Nice props and recommended (Original) Schöne Requisiten und empfehlenswert

If you love cinema you can't miss this one. One of the best museum experiences ever. You get early cinema equipment and history as well as interactive stuff.

Staff hooked us up with student discount ticket without even checking our student IDs because we looked babyish. The museum is very neat and interactive, explains many items and concepts in easy to understand way. The exhibition we went to was gaming related and we had a great time. There are also some green screen setups that both parents and children were obsessed with. Worth the time and ticket for sure!

Amazing 😁😁😁 i loved it

(Translated by Google) 9 € is too expensive (Original) 9 € Ist zu teuer

(Translated by Google) Very cool here. (Original) Sehr cool hier.

(Translated by Google) I went to the film museum with my two children. We took part in the 1.5 hour tour. It starts with the beginning of the presentation of images through the history of photography to (modern) film history. Overall, it was an interesting, entertaining excursion into the history of moving images, which the children (12 + 10) also liked. (Original) War mit meinen beiden Kindern im Filmmuseum. Wir haben die ca. 1,5 stündige Führung mitgemacht. Es fängt an bei dem Beginn der Darstellung von Bildern über die Geschichte der Fotografie bis zur (modernen) Filmgeschichte. Insgesamt war es ein interessanter, kurzweiliger Ausflug in die Geschichte der bewegten Bilder, die auch den Kindern (12+10) gefallen hat.

(Translated by Google) A visit is always worthwhile!! (Original) Ein Besuch lohnt sich immer!!

Worth a visit, contains the history of evolution of moving pictures entertainment methods

(Translated by Google) The whole thing is divided into 4 floors. Only the cash register, café and a small shop are on the ground floor. The permanent installation is on the first two floors. Each floor is very small. You need max. with reading and all the trimmings, a maximum of 15 minutes. Therefore, the tickets are also very cheap. Despite everything, it was very nice. You can't go in with too high expectations. Conclusion: you can visit if you have a few euros left, but you don't have to. (Original) Das Ganze wird in 4 Etagen aufgeteilt. Im Erdgeschoss ist nur die Kasse, Café und ein kleiner Shop. Die Daueraufstellung ist auf den ersten zwei Etagen. Jede Etage ist sehr klein. Man braucht max. mit Lesen und allem drum und dran höchstens 15 min. Daher sind die Tickets auch sehr günstig. Es war trotz allem sehr nett. Man darf nicht mit zu hohen Erwartungen reingehen. Fazit: Kann man besuchen, wenn ein paar Euro noch übrig sind, muss man aber nicht.

(Translated by Google) I love museums and I like to see something different. The DFF Museum is definitely worth a visit, great exhibits, very interesting exhibitions and really, really nice staff!

(Original) Ich liebe Museen und sehe gerne mal was Anderes. Das DFF Museum ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert, tolle Exponate, sehr interessante Ausstellungen und echt sehr nettes Personal!

Hier ist jeder investierte Euro Gold wert!

Love this museum. Temporal exhibition (sounds of disney) was lovely and a lot of fun. Covid regulations followed and not a lot of people
