Abstract: Thirteen noted German filmmakers offer their impressions of the past, present and future of the land they call home in this anthology. Coordinated by Tom Tykwer, Deutschland 09 is comprised of 13 twelve-minute films, each from a different director and each focusing on a different aspect of Germany's political and social reality, spanning the 6 decades that encompassed World War II, the post-war "Economic Miracle", the tumult of the 1960s, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of the two Germanys, and the new era of reform that emerged in the 21st century. Both dramatic and documentary segments are featured, and run the gamut from comic sketches to a fictitious conversation between Susan Sontag and Ulrich Meinhof.
