Airing times Euroshorts Germany All legends have humble beginnings. The world of cinema is no exception where many of the greatest directors have launched their careers by producing short films. These bite-sized samples of genius are, in many ways, more difficult to create than even a feature-length film. To tell a riveting story in such a short space of time takes both the vision and skill which only the elite possess. Eurochannel honors the next generation of up-and-coming filmmakers by sharing their unique work with the world. Euroshorts, a special program devoted to the art of the short film, is pleased to present these small, but perfectly formed and executed stories. In featuring this special, we're afforded an exciting sneak peek on some big up-and-coming German filmmakers.
	1949 (2011) Director: Paul Müller Synopsis: The year is 1949. We are in Germany: a man wakes in a cellar. Next to him are two dead bodies. He doesn't remember who he is or what happened. An investigator tries to establish if the man is a suspect or a victim. This psychological cat-and-mouse game between the two men turns into a gripping race against time.
	Grey Foxes (Graue Fuschse, 2010) Director: Robert Kellner Synopsis: Having lost all their investments during the world financial crisis, four retired men experiment with "alternative" measures to regain their lost riches. What starts as a "straightforward" plan to kidnap their financial consultant turns out to be far more difficult than they had initially foreseen. Based on a true story.
	For Hanna (Fur Hanna, 2011) Director: Ina Spang Synopsis: A man's journey ends when a guard denies him the crossing of a bridge at night. For the first time, the traveler is forced to pause and evaluate. He then experiences compelling realizations about previously repressed doubts, questioning his relationship, habits, and life in general. Airing times
