POLITICS ARE PERSONAL (WT)

feature documentary | 104 minutes | 2026 | Germany | in post-production
Directed by Indira Geisel and produced by Sommer Slatter Film
in co-production with ZDF das Kleine Fernsehspiel and the University of Television and Film Munich with the support of the Bavarian Banking Fund

Winner DOK.talent Award 2024 (DOK.forum Munich)

"(...) the jury decided for a project in which the filmmaker portrays three generations of her own family – in which, as she says, “campaigning is a family affair“. Let it be known: POLITIK IST PERSÖNLICH, a film that engages with ambivalence, allows for critical distance and, on a personal level, seeks its own fresh perspective, is the well deserved winner."
