As part of Film Fest Gent, two events focusing on German cinema will be held: "Classics" and the "Neuer Deutsche Film".
Nowhere do past and present meet as strongly as in the Focus on Germany. For film lovers the names
Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog, Margaretha von Trotta, Wim Wenders, Volker Schlöndorff are music to their ears. They were obsessed by the medium of film and used it more than once to criticise German society. Think of
Deutschland bleiche Mutter, Deutschland im Herbst, Die bleierne Zeit, Die Blechtrommel and others. These are naturally included under the heading “Classics” in the programme.
This programme is supported by the Goethe-Institut Brüssel
