Quo Vadis, deutscher Film? Was die neue Regierung jetzt für den Film tun muss!

Panel: Quo Vadis, deutscher Film? Was die neue Regierung jetzt für den Film tun muss!

With:

Rüdiger Suchsland

Host: Alexandra Gramatke

"German film is not doing well" - this is the latest statement of the BKM. We agree with this diagnosis. A provocative thesis right at the beginning: German film and its funding are visionless. German film is internationally irrelevant and uncompetitive. Germany has one of the highest promotion budgets in Europe. In relation to the economic resources used, German film has the worst audience figures in cinemas and the least success at film festivals. It is time to rethink film funding and to reposition German film for the future. The overall model of German film and its previous funding must be put to the test. We ask: Quo Vadis, German Film?
