Reichsfilmkammer (RFK), 1933-1945

History of the Inventory Designer: Before the Reich Chamber of Culture Act of 22 September 1933 came into force, the law on the establishment of a provisional film chamber was enacted on 14 July. 1] Its presidents were Dr. Fritz Scheuermann (1933-1935), Prof. Dr. Oswald Lehnich (1935-1939) and Prof. Carl Froelich (from 1939). The vice presidents were Arnold Raeter, Hans Weidemann and Karl Melzer. The Reichsfilmkammer had the task of promoting the German film industry within the overall economy, of representing the interests of the individual groups of this industry among themselves and vis-à-vis the Reich, the Länder and the municipalities, and of bringing about a fair balance between those involved in working life in this field. The close connection between state and party, which is expressed in the position of the Gaufilmstellenleiter as department head of the Gaupropagandaamt and speaker of the Landesstelle of the Reich Ministry for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda, was further deepened by the appointment of the Gaufilmstellenleiter as Gauauftragter of the Reich Film Chamber. 2] The Reichsfilmkammer was divided into 10 departments: I. General Administration (Law, Budget and Finance, Personal Data) II. Politics and Culture (Domestic Press News Office; Foreign Press News Office, Reich Film Archive) III. artistic supervision of filmmaking (dramaturgy, casting questions) IV. Film Industry (Special reports on foreign exchange issues, copyright, labour and tax law issues) V. Film Student Council (production manager, directors, film formers, production managers, cameras, sound engineers, editors, actors, extras, make-up artists, requisitioners, cloakroom attendants) VI. Film Production Section (film production, film foreign trade, film studios) VII. Domestic Film Distribution Section VIII. Section Film Theatre IX. Division Film and Cinema Technology (Film Processing, Film Patents, Film Technology Research) X. Section for culture, advertising and light plays. 3] Among the cooperative members of the Film Chamber were the Paritätische Filmnachweis, the Film Quota Office, the Foreign Exchange Department, the Filmkreditbank GmbH and the Reichsfilmarchiv. 4] With the collapse of the "Third Reich" the Reichskulturkammer and with it also the Reichsfilmkammer lost their right to exist.
