The Goethe Institute in Hanoi will organize a German Film Week in Hanoi from from now until November 7 to celebrate 60 years of German Cinema (1999-2009).
The Film Week will focus on the new millennium, the reunification of East and West Germany with all its problems, the new German filmmaking era, “Berliner Schule”, with its realism, and internationally successful German films.
Every two months, the Goethe Institute in Hanoi will feature a decade in cinema history, presenting films that define their times, films which were talked about, which shocked and impressed and which led the way for German cinema in both East and West Germany.
