description The article is based on sources from Ukrainian, German and Russian archives, on oral history and on museum collections. It enquires into the role the cinema played in everyday life of the population in the Eastern regions of the Ukraine during Nazi occupation. It shows how the Nazi propaganda organisations launched their film policy and how they strangely implemented it in the military administration zone. The film programs are analysed in detail in the article, with an emphasis on feature films, propaganda films and on releases of the ‘Deutsche Wochenschau’. Cinema is seen as an integral part of the cultural and propaganda landscape of the occupied regions. The article throws light on people’s cinema-going experience and analyses impact pictures had on their minds. The article states that the cinema not only provided its audience with information and added to the creation of propagandistic stereotypes, but cinema-going also became for them an important means for temporary relaxation and psycho-emotional relief.
