To allow embedded videos from Vimeo you have to update your privacy settings.SHORT EXPORT – MADE IN GERMANY 2026 presents six new short films that tell sensitive and powerful stories about family, memory and social responsibility. The films focus variously on intergenerational relationships, the realities of queer life, migrant experiences, and the examination of guilt and violence and their consequences.
Out of more than 510 entries, the International Short Film Festival Clermont-Ferrand has selected six films that draw a multi-faceted picture of contemporary German filmmaking. The films show old family histories resurfacing, relationships being put to the test and private conflicts unexpectedly becoming public. At the same time, the films also explore how memories are preserved and passed on – through personal objects, analog traces and digital media. Humorous, moving and formally innovative, the program gives us insights into current artistic and societal discourses in Germany – and invites us to discover these from very diverse cinematic perspectives.
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, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic subtitles.
