Beethoven Reloaded 2020 (8)

Ludwig van Beethoven is far more than just an epitome of European culture: he has become a synonym for classical music, much like the Beatles for pop or Picasso for modern art. "Beethoven Reloaded" brings the composer's inexhaustible potential to everyone, from interested laymen to musical specialists, with a fresh perspective. The essential biographical facts, political convictions and the musical and historical context of Beethoven form the central theme of a multifaceted portrait.

Fortune Favors the Brave 2016 (5.4)

Eleven-year-old Linh shows great grace under pressure. When her mother, who’s raising her kids on her own, has to return unexpectedly to Vietnam, Linh looks after her little sister Tien and the family restaurant on her own. Of course, no one is supposed to find out, not the school, not the neighbours, and definitely not child protective services. But Linh’s biggest problem has red hair, a telescope and a sly grin: Pauline. The daredevil from across the street has the whole neighbourhood under surveillance and can’t imagine anything cooler than a life without parents. When Pauline blackmails the Vietnamese sisters into starting a gang with her, the three girls set off on a daring adventure.

Hindenburg 2013

Hindenburg was active at a time when events in Germany and Europe came thick and fast within a few years: defeat in the war and revolution led the German Empire into a deep crisis, while inflation and the global economic crisis plunged the Weimar Republic into severe turmoil. The world was coming apart at the seams and Hindenburg played a decisive role in determining the fate of Germany: in the Supreme Army Command during the First World War, at the fall of Kaiser Wilhelm II in November 1918 and in January 1933, when as Reich President he appointed Adolf Hitler as Reich Chancellor.
