German Film Festival 2025: Riefenstahl + Hysteria

As the German Film Festival rolls out across the country, we meet two directors featured in this year's lineup... Acclaimed director Andres Veiel discusses his documentary Riefenstahl, a captivating insight into the private estate of Leni Riefenstahl and her complex relationship with the Nazi regime. Award-winning director Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay's second feature, Hysteria, comes to Australia directly from the 2025 Berlinale...a suspenseful behind-the-scenes conspiracy thriller about a real-life 1993 arson incident on the set of a film production. Presenter: Jason Di Rosso Producer: Sarah Corbett Sound engineer: Ross Richardson Executive producer: Rhiannon Brown
