Film Series Future German Film

When people talk about the future of German film, they usually think of young filmmakers. In order to show and support their films, quite a few young talent awards are offered. But what about the future of German film, regardless of the biological age of its filmmakers?

This is what the film series ZUKUNFT DEUTSCHER FILM is all about. Its curation focuses on German film itself! It wants to track down its opportunities and lines of development, to strengthen it where it has the most artistic confidence, and finally to show that German film, in its most successful cases, is far better than its reputation.
