The consequences of the Corona crisis for the film industry and cinema have set in motion an unprecedented thought process in Germany and the world. The rigid structures of the past decades had to be reconsidered within a very short time. Many of the current models of thought have been discussed for years, but the pandemic with its different phases of stress have led to theories and concepts being tested in practice. This is especially true for documentaries, which are suffering from the shortage of film offerings on television stations. The hype of streaming services has sparked a fundamental debate. debate: Where and how can cinema documentaries find an audience? Find its audience? And if fixed broadcasting times on television will soon be obsolete and no longer sustainable, will it then celebrate its resurrection from the niche?
In this panel, experts from German-speaking countries will reflect on the state of the documentary film in relation to its exploitation and discuss its future future models.
