About our work
The cornerstones of our film activities include the supply of an extensive repertoire of German films licensed for worldwide exploitation and subtitled in numerous languages. On this basis, the Goethe-Instituts organise their own film events and participate in local festivals, thereby increasing the visibility and reach of German film abroad. Seminars and workshops with German and international filmmakers are hosted in cooperation with local film scenes. Hybrid and digital film programs on the Goethe on Demand streaming platform expand the cultural offerings beyond the institute's locations.
Internet, live stream, web radio or podcast: Radio is constantly getting more attention – partly due to the new opportunities provided by the Internet. Not only reception, but also production by users themselves plays an increasing role. We support innovative radio projects. Activities in listening culture will be more increasingly anchored in our future programme work.
