This is a series of 5 exhibition posters designed for the Deutsche Kinemathek — Museum für Film und Fernsehen (German Museum of Film and Television) in Berlin.

Holdings from Marlene Dietrich’s estate form the core of the permanent collection. The museum was formerly named the Filmmuseum Berlin, but relaunched recently with a parallel focus on television. It needed an identity that would reflect both media, and the new logo, designed by Pentagram, features two screens intersecting to form a silvery-grey letter “M. The design of the posters therefore pursues the identity by using diagonals as main design elements.
