Goethe on Demand: Happy Birthday

A number of major birthdays of famous filmmakers are coming up again in 2022. Werner Herzog’s 80th birthday will certainly find fitting tributes in the media. But we want to celebrate filmmakers beyond the big names – young and old, who work in front of and behind the camera. And how better to do this than with a film from their respective oeuvres?

Once a month, our new birthday calendar will honor a selected birthday child (filmmakers, screenwriters, actors, camera operators, editors) with an appropriate film recommendation. For one month, one of their films will be available to stream via Goethe-on-Demand.

You’ll find the selected birthday children below:

February 21	80th birthday of Margarethe von Trotta
March 20	60th birthday of Wolfgang and Christoph Lauenstein
