We talk to #Heimatfilm expert Dr. Sarah Kordecki - she wrote her thesis on the genre and watched more than 200 Heimatfilme.

Talking to a real genre expert und pop-culture geek? Priceless – and a lot of fun. #BloodRedSky and #OldPeople producer Benjamin Munz took time out of his busy X-FAKTOR – DAS UNFASSBARE production schedule and went on a deep dive with us to talk about the two projects. Besides many incredible stories about the long production journey of BLOOD RED SKY – like chasing Nicholas Cage at a film festival or Arnold Schwarzenegger on an airplane – we talked about creative choices, preconceived notions about horror in Germany and also would like to invite a certain SZ film critic to re-watch BLOOD RED SKY, this time to the end…
