Fokus: Films from Germany

The German Film Festival in Scotland is celebrating its 10th anniversary, presenting a diverse and exciting selection of German films. This year's programme ‘Women: Words and Worlds’ delves into the Goethe-Institut’s catalogue, covering a century of German cinema and revisiting different moments in German history and women's changing roles and experiences.

"All of this year’s films engage with moments of change in women’s roles and their place in society. Often, they look back to the past and other generations as our characters seek to find new paths and new futures. Different historical periods speak to us now in different ways, from the mythical world of ancient Greece, to a searching set of kitchen table conversations from the 1980s, or the present-day global challenges of refugees and migrants. These stories and experiences are shown through documentary, musical, dystopian fiction, classical theatre, comedy, improvisation, literary adaptations, portraits, provocations, some great dialogue and some long silences – in short, everything that makes great cinema, and German cinema great." - Season curator, Rastko Novaković

Fokus: Films from Germany is in collaboration with the Glasgow Film Theatre and supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network, awarding funding on behalf of Screen Scotland and the BFI National Lottery. The festival is organised in collaboration with independent cinemas across Scotland. Find out more here.
