Abstract
Beginning in 1951, West Berlin hosted the annual International Film Festival (Berlinale). In the context of the Cold War, the Federal Republic and the U.S. viewed the festival as a poster child for cultural freedom and consumption. The photograph below features autograph collectors at the Fifth International Berlin Film Festival, held on Kurfürstendamm from June 24 to July 5, 1955.
