Hessen Film & Medien is supporting a large number of film and series projects with 2.8 million euros in 2025, including works by renowned directors such as Paweł Pawlikowski and Aliaksei Paluyan as well as promising newcomer films.
The drama is particularly supported Fatherland (€200,000) with Oscar winner Edward Berger as producer, the mystery film Objet a (€200,000) by Ann Oren and The heritage (€ 300,000) by Aliaksei Paluyan. Experimental and socially relevant projects also receive funding, including Save our Souls (€360,000), which deals with the climate crisis.
The diversity of the funded films reflects Hessen's commitment to artistic and socially significant productions, as Minister of Art Timon Gremmels emphasises. Five of the subsidised works will also celebrate their premiere at the Berlinale.
