We are the worldwide exclusive distributor of the complete stock of DEFA films from the former East Germany (GDR).
Whether you are looking for historical or contemporary footage or works of fiction, we deliver the images that you need – we visualize your content and ideas.
Our comprehensive archive boasts one of the largest collections of footage in Germany, with 15,000 films of all types, raw and unreleased material, and excerpts from seven decades and seven collections.
Highlights include the first German post-war weekly newsreel, "Der Augenzeuge" ("The Eye-Witness"), which regularly informed cinema audiences in East Germany about current national and international events until 1980.
Only at PROGRESS will you find archive material from the TV-free era between 1946 and the early 1950s in the Soviet Occupation Zone and the GDR. Additional shots and unused footage from "The Eye-Witness" present a wealth of unusual and, in some cases, as yet unknown material.
