Activists recently received strong support for Netzwerk Quote Ost’s demand to give East German (narrative) perspectives a platform alongside those of a small privileged circle of filmmakers such as Andreas Dresen, Leander Haußmann, and Christian Schwochow through two studies: One was the study commissioned by Producers of Germany (PROG) and conducted by Goldmedia East German Perspectives In Film and Series, and the other was the expanded study conducted by Hoferichter & Jacobs in cooperation with the University of Leipzig, The East in the Media.
Both studies are available for download in German.
