Dr. Sarah Kordecki

We talk to #Heimatfilm expert Dr. Sarah Kordecki - she wrote her thesis on the genre and watched more than 200 Heimatfilme. Our discussion runs the gamut from the importance of (German) music, to happy ends, to societal and political references and self-reflexion. Be it Sisi, Immenhof, The Trapp Family or the Meineidbauer. And on the way we got a few new Heimatfilm film recommendations to boot. Enjoy!
