The most beautiful natural paradises in the southwest
LANDSCAPE PICTURE rocks, lakes, deep gorges, D 2014
The southwest of Germany has more than 20,000 nature reserves, almost 5,000 lakes, 40,000 kilometers of streams and rivers and countless forests, heaths, moors and rocky mountains. The documentation presents the most beautiful natural paradises in the southwest. This includes the large nature parks in the Black Forest and Eifel as well as the small natural paradises that are sometimes only as big as a football pitch. For more than 40,000 animal and plant species, the southwest is the “free wilderness”, for 15 million people the “wilderness on the doorstep”.

The most beautiful natural paradises in the southwest
LANDSCAPE PICTURE Forests, streams, dark caves, D 2014
More than 20,000 nature reserves, almost 5,000 lakes, mountains, forests – and numerous animal species: the southwest is a natural paradise – on land, in the water and in the air. Streams and rivers run through around 40,000 kilometers, and countless forests, heaths, moors and rocky mountains extend. This includes the large nature parks in the Black Forest and Eifel as well as the small natural paradises that are sometimes only as big as a football pitch.

Mystical southern Black Forest
DOCUMENTATION Sagas, legends and magical places, D 2019
In the southern Black Forest there are plenty of mystical places, places of power and mysterious places. Often there are mysterious stories about these places of worship. They exert an undreamt-of attraction on the people who visit them. The Heidenkirche on the Lochberg in the Ortenau is such a place of power – huge sandstone cliffs, huge stone blocks. Presumably it used to be a place of pagan rites.

Operation vaccine
DOCUMENTATION The difficult way out of the pandemic, 2021
A vaccine against COVID-19 is considered the only exit strategy in the fight against the virus. And the goal now seems to be within reach: some developers are about to get their vaccine approved – one of them is the Mainz company BioNtech. Nevertheless, the public mood fluctuates between hope for an end to the pandemic and skepticism about vaccines that may not have been adequately tested. How viable is the hope for a vaccine really, in other words: will a vaccine actually herald the end of the pandemic and a return to “normal life”?

Spain’s fight with Corona
FOREIGN REPORTS Travel through a shaken country, D 2021
Catastrophic conditions in hospitals, eerily empty inner cities and days on which up to a thousand people died: in hardly any country has Corona left such devastation as in Spain. The epidemic has taken what defines their lives at record speed: the close cohesion of the extended family, greetings with kisses and hugs, the noisy life outside – on the street, in parks, cafés and restaurants. ARD correspondent Natalia Bachmayer traveled for around a year for phoenix through a country that has been particularly hard hit by the pandemic, but the reporter also sheds light on signals of hope and change.

8mm DDR
DOCUMENTATION (sequence: 1), D 2020
–
Around 100,000 amateur filmmakers shot countless minutes of film on 8mm, Super 8 or even 16mm in the GDR. These very private testimonies to the GDR cultural history tell – sometimes true to the line, sometimes harmless, sometimes hidden erotic, sometimes subversive of life in the GDR. What emerges from this polyphonic choir of amateur chronicles is nothing less than an authentic, unadorned picture of GDR reality – a look at everyday life in the East with all its facets.

8mm DDR
DOCUMENTATION (sequence: 2), 2017

Much of what was filmed fell under the state control of the 500 film clubs. But not everything: Film images were also made that were not ideological, on film rolls that were “left over”. Because there wasn’t an abundance of them, every second of the film was considered, weighed and kept short. Long film runs are the exception, you had to be economical and get along frugally with what was available.

Wild Germany
LANDSCAPE The Palatinate Forest, D 2012
The Palatinate Forest is located in southwest Germany, not far from the French border. Colorful sandstone cliffs as well as countless castles and ruins tower over the pine-scented pine forests. The wine route running on the eastern edge of the Palatinate Forest invites you to linger with its romantic wine villages. Here, in one of the warmest regions in Germany, nature established itself in a Mediterranean way centuries ago. It is not for nothing that the Palatinate Forest is known as the Tuscany of Germany.

Our Rhine
DOCUMENTATION In the Flow of History, 2020
The Rhine is a natural phenomenon and a supplier of drinking water, it drives machines, and goods and cultural assets have been transported on it for centuries. It forms borders and is a theater of war until the 20th century. Bridges span it as a symbol of unity. Factory facilities bear witness to industrialization in the 19th century and the economic boom after the Second World War. Untamed in the Alps, straightened near Worms – our Rhine has many faces. Many scenes of German history lie on its banks. Andreas Fath discovers them swimming.

Our Rhine
DOCUMENTATION Treasures of Romanticism, 2020
The Middle Rhine Valley has been a place of longing since the Romantic era. Artists of all stripes were inspired by its wild nature, the castles and palaces and numerous myths and legends. There are 325 different settings of Heinrich Heine’s famous Loreley poem alone. The painter William Turner immortalized the landscape in countless watercolors. The American occupation soldiers were so fascinated by the “Rhine” that after the Second World War they filmed how “special” people lived here.
