The highlights of the German Film Festival 2025

This year's German Film Festival starts on April 30. Until the end of May, you can watch over 40 German-language films in eight cities across Australia. The festival is co-organized by the Goethe Institute Australia. During a pre-screening in Melbourne, we met the director of the Goethe Institute, Christoph Mücher. We asked him for an insight into this year's program.
