Goethe on Demand: A cinematic journey through Germany
City, Country, River

The film series City, Country, River takes us through the diversity of German cities, villages and landscapes with a selection of twelve feature and documentary films. The films focus on regions and places away from the well-known big cities, inviting viewers to take a multi-layered look at the realities of life in Germany.

Yesterday - Today - Tomorrow

Over the next few months, Goethe on Demand will be offering nine films about Germany's past, present and future. From villagers caught up in the events of the Second World War and missing girls in the East German provinces to anti-Semitism, real estate speculation, belonging and environmental disasters – the films show a broad spectrum of topics that concern German society yesterday, today and tomorrow.
