Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

West German traffic safety films of this era were notorious for their grim pragmatism—part of a broader state-funded media landscape that treated citizens like forgetful children.

Trivia

Director Helmut Reininger specialized in exactly this: short, stern educational content for government agencies, making him the unsung auteur of German bureaucratic cinema.
