Hi:
About Ufa I want to know why if during the cold war it was in the East part, why I remember (and many other people remember) some short films screened as advertising in the 1980's with a logo of the Ufa and a hand holding a camera and talking about the life in Western Germany?
Is it possible that there were tow UFAS? one in the East transfered to the DEFA and another one in the West?
Is there any German say anything about this?
I answer my own question: there is some reference to this in the German vertion of the article, I can understand some basics ideas about that, but my German is less than basic.
Is there any German speaker who can translate that part and incorporate it in the English article?
UFA on the cinemas It was part of my infantry.
I changed a date, correcting the reference to the year of Hitler's rise to power, from 1932 to 1933.User:Davidwestling
Thought I'd post an explanation about the disambiguation link. I added it because UFA re-directs to this page and the acronym also refers to the high school. Even though these two articles only share an acronym and not a name, the redirect made this the most appropriate place.

There must be some mistake as to the chronology in the leading article. Ufa kept on producing films under its original trademark and logo well into the 1950s, an example of which is the last film in the 'Sissi' trilogy, with Romy Schneider, that was produced and released in 1957, and features prominently the Ufa logo at the very start. Some form of correction, therefore, does seem to be in order...— Precedingunsigned comment added by69.249.202.53 (talk)02:59, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The result of the move request was:Moved toUFA GmbH. While '(company)' is acceptable as a DAB term, it is not clearly preferred to other options inWP:NCCORP. GmbH is specifically mentioned there as one of the options. This phrase seems to allow for its use: "When disambiguation is needed, the legal status, an appended "(company)", or other suffix can be used to disambiguate." The article should not stay atUniversum Film AG which is an obsolete name. The company is presumably not an Aktiengesellschaft any more (because it is a unit of Bertelsman): "UFA is the umbrella company for all of the German production activities of FremantleMedia which manages the global production of Bertelsmann’s RTL Group." The company *does* refer to itself as 'UFA GmbH' on the web site at ufa.de. There is an unrelated Swiss company with the namede:UFA AG. Thanks to Wbm1058 and SMcC for clarifying their opinions in response to my request.EdJohnston (talk)02:29, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless, the "AG" in the current name should be dropped, because it is no longer accurate, whether we go withUFA (company),Universum Film (which I would support as a second choice, as common), or (surely not without a NCCORP change)UFA GmBH. — SMcCandlish ☺☏¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 01:28, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
An edit comment by68.91.95.84 (currently blocked) in the article's history page, after my recent edits, got me thinking.

"The resulting concentration on a few large German film companies, which came together to unite production, distribution and presentation under one UFA's managers made severe miscalculations with regard to two large-scale productions,Nibelungen andMetropolis in 1924-1926."
That is certainly not an English sentence. It looks to me like two sentences where the end of the first has been accidentally erased, but I have no idea how it ought to read.Harfarhs (talk)10:27, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I came to this article expecting to read a lengthy description of Ufa's silent period, and was disappointed to find almost nothing abou this golden era. I have added an Expand section template.Masato.harada (talk)14:20, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
