Cultural Promotion © Sebastian Bolesch The Goethe-Institut promotes culture of all kinds. We support the exchange of artists between Canada and Germany and help to make German culture accessible in Canada. © David Azurzo Residency programs in Canada A residence abroad gives artists the opportunity to gather valuable experience and inspiration for the further development of their work. A new environment and encounters with artists from other cultural backgrounds offer ideal conditions for expanding one's own creativity, inspiring the further development of artistic processes and helping to build an international network at the beginning of a worldwide career. © Shutterstock Translation funding Our translation funding programme supports the publication of books by German authors in another language. © Komplizen Film Film archive Our film catalogue contains more than 600 films in DVD format (PAL). Films can be rented for non commercial screenings by educational institutions, such as schools, colleges and universities, as well as cultural institutions, such as art galleries, cinematheques and museums. Residency Programs worldwide The Goethe-Institut would like to offer a "space for new perspectives" with its residency programs. Each year, artists and cultural practitioners are invited to live and work, for some time, in a different country and culture. Top
