new orientation of the filming case

The film office will continue to support projects that are implemented in Göttingen or the surrounding area, but the goals are now adapted to the new conditions. The ambitious project to build a film museum in the city was abandoned, instead changing exhibitions are planned in the city center, which are to be carried out in coordination with city marketing. Filmstadt Göttingen has already taken great steps in recent years to illuminate the city's film history.

The preservation of the film studio building on the Sartorius Campus runs as a thread through the planning of the film case. In addition, a book entitled "Hollywood on the Leine - Film in Göttingen" is published in October 2025, which wants to illuminate the city -historical facets of the city.
