- DirectorLeo de LaforgueStarsRené CarolMadeleine LohseFriedrich LuftThis film seeks to pass itself off as a positive and definitive history of the city of Berlin before the outbreak of World War Two.

Students form two camps, which fight each other violently about the historical events, commanded by Elsa and Heinz.
- DirectorSlatan DudowStarsViktoria von BallaskoPaul BildtHarry HindemithA story about a family after the Second World War. The petty bourgeois cashier Karl Weber of Berlin observes from a distance how his son Ernst participates in the building of a new socialist society. Karl does not understand Ernst's visions, instead he confides in his other son Harry. However, Harry becomes involved in illicit business and Karl quickly realizes that it would be best to join his son Ernst in the citizen-owned factory. With this film, director Slatan Dudow (1903-1963) continued the traditions of proletarian German film from the Weimar Republic. As with his first feature film Kuhle Wampe, from a screenplay by Bertolt Brecht, Dudow wanted an art that "cultivates the viewer's psyche." His postwar films were intended to make the viewers realize the importance of supporting the "new order" in East Germany. Our Daily Bread became known as a premiere film of its day under the rubric of "socialist realism." Slatan Dudow's work was convincing mainly through his detailed descriptions of socialist everyday life. Music by Hanns Eisler was the centerpiece of contemporary review. After coming back from his exile in America, the composer created a score that challenged, thrilled, and focused. Berlin's world of ruins is captured in almost documentary fashion.

- DirectorErich FreundStarsClaus HolmInge KellerHanns Groth
- DirectorKurt MaetzigStarsYvonne MerinHans-Peter ThielenWilly A. KleinauA young married couple-both actors-work in Cold War Berlin before the Wall is built. Agnes is on location in East Berlin, and Jochen, her husband, works at the Westend Theater in West Berlin. They hold diametrically opposed views on politics, art and the responsibility of the individual to society. As they have vehement arguments, their marriage is in danger of breaking up. This film portrays numerous figures of contemporary German cultural and political life-including Veit Harlan, director of the notorious Nazi propaganda film Jud Süss, and Boleslaw Barlog, a famous West Berlin theater director. Also memorable in this film is documentary footage of the construction of Stalin Allee, the biggest boulevard built in East Berlin after WWII, soon to become a central locus of the popular uprising of 17 June 1953. Although director Kurt Maetzig depicts Cold War Berlin with dramatic verve, the film illustrates the tightening grip of Stalinism on East German cultural production at this time.
- DirectorFrantisek CápStarsGordon HowardIrina GardenKurt MeiselBerlin shortly after World War II. An American lawyer is looking for the missing heir to a large fortune in the bombed-out city. He accidentally gets in the way of an unscrupulous counterfeiting gang and has to fear for his life.
- DirectorSlatan DudowStarsSonja SutterLotte LoebingerAnneliese BookBerlin, seven years after WWII. Four women are looking for happiness and a good man in the divided city. Their destinies are loosely connected through one person: the West Berlin dandy and womanizer, Conny. Released at the peak of East German cultural and political dogmatism, the film was heavily critiqued, especially by female party leaders who objected that its portrayal of the four women did not represent the qualities that characterized women in the new society. Now considered as a richly contradictory work, Destinies of Women represents an encore production by the Dudow/Eisler/Brecht creative team that also made Kuhle Wampe in 1932.

- DirectorGerhard KleinStarsAnnekathrin BürgerUlrich TheinUwe-Jens PapeDie 16-jährige Ostberlinerin Uschi (Annekathrin Bürger) lernt im HO-Bekeidungswarenhaus am Alexanderplatz den Beruf einer Verkäuferin. Als sie bei einer Modenschau Kleider vorführen darf, kommt sie auf die Idee, Mannequin zu werden. Aber ihre Eltern (Erika Dunkelmann und Erich Franz) sind damit nicht einverstanden. Eines Tages begleitet Uschi ihre Freundin nach Feierabend wieder mal in den Westsektor der Stadt. An einem Stand möchte sie sich etwas zum Naschen kaufen. Der Händler will zwar ihr Ostgeld annehmen, aber den Schein nicht wechseln. Das bekommt ein in der Nähe stehender junger Mann mit und bezahlt die Summe. "Lord" (Uwe-Jens Pape), seine lustige, unbekümmerte Art und auch sein Kofferradio gefallen Uschi, und sie geht noch ein Stück mit ihm spazieren. Er und sein Freund Hans (Ulrich Thein) wohnen im Westsektor und verdienen ihr Geld mit dem Waschen von Luxuslimousinen. Für Hans ist Uschi Liebe auf den ersten Blick. Als die Autowäscherei eines Tages dicht macht und "Lord" Berlin verlässt, ergreift Hans seine Chance bei der jungen Frau. Mit seiner ruhigen, zuverlässigen Art verzeichnet er bald Erfolge, und es entwickelt sich zwischen beiden eine zarte Liebe. Nach mehreren erfolglosen Versuchen findet er eine neue Arbeit bei einem Abbruchunternehmen. Er ermutigt Uschi, sich bei einer Mannequinschule anzumelden und übernimmt die Kosten. Sie verbringen sehr viel Zeit miteinander, und eines Tages, während eines starken Regens, geht Hans mit ihr in die Wohnung eines Freundes. Uschi vermutet, dass es seine ist, doch auch er wohnt noch bei seiner Mutter (Marga Legal). Da Uschi immer öfter spät nach Hause kommt, gibt es Ärger mit ihren Eltern. Nach einem heftigen Streit beschließt sie, zu Hans zu ziehen. Doch in seiner vermeintlichen Wohnung öffnet eine junge Frau, die ihr erklärt, dass Hans gar nicht hier wohnt. Mit einem Hoffnungsschimmer für eine gemeinsame Zukunft endet die Liebesgeschichte zweier junger Menschen - einem Mädchen aus Ostberlin und einem jungen Mann aus dem Westsektor der Stadt. Die noch vor dem Mauerbau entstandene Komödie steht in ihrer unpathetischen Romantik dem italienischen Neorealismus nahe und ist ein hochinteressantes Zeitdokument. Für Regisseur Gerhard Klein war Hauptdarstellerin Annekathrin Bürger eine Notbesetzung. Doch die damals 17-Jährige bescherte dem Film mit ihrer unbekümmerten, natürlichen Ausstrahlung großen Erfolg beim Publikum. Die Rolle der Uschi in "Eine Berliner Romanze" wurde zum Auftakt ihrer großartigen Schauspielkarriere - und aus der Romanze im Film wurde auch im wirklichen Leben Liebe: Annekathrin Bürger und ihr Filmpartner Ulrich Thein waren bis 1961 ein Paar.
