Panel: Misstrauen und Verheißung
With:
Nicolette Krebitz (director and actress), Frédéric Jaeger (freelance film critic, director)
Host: Rüdiger Suchsland (film critic)
German cinema, its audience and yearning.
"The special thing about our situation is the audience's distrust of 'own' films," director Christoph Hochhäusler wrote soberly in a recent blog entry - triggering a small debate.
We want to continue this debate asking: How much trust does German film need, how much yearning? And how much distrust should the audience be given? Are people really too stupid? Or are German directors perhaps too sensitive and larmoyant?
A debate that goes to the heart of the current situation - and which should not be about Corona, nor about film funding, but about aesthetics and the relationship between makers and audiences.
