About this episode

The episode features an interview with writer Henk Handloegten discussing the film Vaterland/Fatherland and the writing process.

First a Best Director-award for his co-writer and director of Vaterland/Fatherland Pawel Pawlikowski in Cannes and now their film opens the Munich film festival. We talk to writer Henk Handloegten how Vaterland/Fatherland came about, the writing process, the influence of Edgar Reitz’ “Heimat” on his choice of career, the responsibility of a writer (hint: accuracy matters, but so does perspective) and we speculate how AI might change the business. It was a pleasure - Enjoy! Find out more about Henk and his latest work: https://players.de/writers/henk-handloegten/ You can find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shorttake/?hl=de
