towards a gender balance in terms of men and women making films in germany but there are also more and more people with a migrant background making films the diversity of german society is increasingly reflected in german film would be in towards the fear of the toilets mechanics and the great thing is that you can't say german film as this or german film is that that's not exciting there are different german voices and this is now being recognised abroad. the german filmmakers are upbeat but one of the themes women directors have been coming more to the fore. about for example the latest film and critical acclaim it was set in a man's world and follows german construction workers in bulgaria. it's over the. family out half is
