Cosmopolitan, brave, unconventional, young - these adjectives have characterized the "Das kleine Fernsehspiel" series since 1963. Conceiving of itself as a workshop and research laboratory, it fosters young German and international film and TV talents. For its 50th birthday, the Deutsche Kinemathek and ZDF are paying homage to the series, which has right from the beginning sought out new developments on the creative edge of feature films and documentaries. Arsenal and ZDF will show two films that complement each other on four theme nights in April.
