Wikipedia article
'Germany 09 ('German: 'Deutschland 09 13 kurze Filme zur Lage der Nation)' is a German anthology film composed of 13 short films that contemplated the state of German at the time. It was conceived as a rejoinder to the 1977 anthology film 'Germany in Autumn' (composed of shorts directed by 11 different filmmakers, including Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Edgar Reitz and Volker Schlndorff) after 30 years of German history have passed.
Shorts
According to the film's official website, "Each of the participating directors interprets his personal perception and his own cinematic view of contemporary Germany, abstractly or concretely, freely in the choice of format and content. The individual contributions could be short feature films, documentary films, essayistic or experimental."
