SHORT EXPORT 2025 - Made in Germany | Soirée Allemande Édition 20

SHORT EXPORT - MADE IN GERMANY celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025 - two decades full of unusual insights into the multi-facetted world of the German short film! This year's program throws a light on a wide spectrum of themes and forms of expression. The themes explored include the conflicting poles of freedom and responsibility, societal norms and personal boundaries, and the power of change.

These six carefully selected films - from over 440 entries to the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival - tell us about the experiences of young mothers and show us bizarre and contemplative moments from the perspective of a Google Street View car. In addition, the films explore the political and emotional meaning of the term 'home', and trace an ark from the optimism of the 1990s to the constraints of modern bureaucracy. At the same time humorous, contemplative and innovative, the program shows the entire gamut of artistic and societal discourse in German short-filmmaking.

Goethe-Institute all over the world and their partner organizations can book SHORT EXPORT – MADE IN GERMANY. The program is available in the original version with English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic subtitles.
