JETZT ANSCHAUEN
Home from home (Edgar Reitz, 2013)
In the middle of the 19th century, oppressed by famine, poverty and arbitrary rule, hundreds of thousands of people emigrated from Europe to faraway South America. Against the backdrop of this drama, two brothers realise that only their dreams can save them.
800 Times Lonely – One Day with Filmmaker Edgar Reitz (Anna Hepp, 2019)
Young filmmaker Anna Hepp meets doyen and pioneer of New German Cinema Edgar Reitz. The result is not only a sensitive biographical portrait of a life’s work, but also a declaration of love to all too often berated filmmaking in Germany.
Part of the Goethe-Institut's focus on German film.
