On June 25, 2020, German Films started the project SHORT TAKE – THE GERMAN FILMS PODCAST to introduce you to German filmmakers and their work in short, entertaining as well as interesting interviews! Whether it was upcoming talents or established creatives – German Films had a whole bunch of great guests in front of the microphone. The aim is to show you a different side of them - and for you to find out something fun and new about them.
After a short break, our podcast is back - with new episodes and exciting guests! Starting in June, a new episode will be released every three weeks.
