Here you see a final project video from a German Cinema class. Students were asked to pick a filmmaker and study his/her filmmaking style by watching films and reading about the filmmaker. Finally, students wrote a script and made a short film (video) in the style of their filmmaker under study. This film is based on the study of the early films of Volker Schlöndorff (Der junge Törless, Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum).
