Once Upon a Time … there were human beings

From science fiction to historical film: the Berlinale competition's reduced selection nevertheless offers an astonishing range of German films.

Today’s environmental movement attaches great importance to providing strong images of their activities for the media – a protest against deforestation by Extinction Rebellion in Berlin 2020. Photo (detail): © picture alliance/AA/Abdulhamid Hosbas

Environmental Movement
 The heirs of the environmental movement are dissatisfied

Fake News
“We cannot simply ignore disinformation”

What can we do about the flood of false reports, lies and conspiracy theories that make the rounds on the internet every day? Journalist and head of broadcaster ARD’s fact finder team, Patrick Gensing talks about parallel worlds, new pressures on journalists, and how fake news both poses a threat to and strengthens established media at the same time.

#WordOfTheWeek

"Schnapsidee" & Co., "special German" words have their charm, but are often difficult to explain!
At the Goethe-Institut Irland we have made a selection of these words accessible to non-native speakers.
