Industriefilme
Industriefilme, or industrial films, are films produced by companies, industry associations, or government bodies to communicate information about products, processes, or organizational themes. They range from technical instructional films used in training to promotional reels intended to demonstrate capabilities and enhance corporate image. The genre took shape with the early adoption of cinema for business use in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, expanding as manufacturing and technology became central to modern societies.
Historically, Industriefilme covered plant tours, machinery demonstrations, and factory workflows in the silent era, and later
Today, many Industriefilme are valued as historical documents of industrial practice, labor relations, and regional development.
