After this film screening, festival director Daniel Sponsel and director Martin Weinhart will hold a discussion titled “Mit Rechten reden?” (Talking to the right?). The discussion will take place in German language. 

Due to its structural processes, the film industry – in contrast to music and literature – has so far been protected from direct access by right-wing populists. The media generally paints a one-dimensional picture of right-wingers, thereby reinforcing their supposed role as victims. What possibilities are there for a differentiated examination of right-wing movements in documentary film? How can we approach populists adequately without giving them a stage?
