Summary
Germany’s government is launching a bold $300 million film industry revival plan, doubling past investments and forcing streaming giants to pour 8% of revenue back into local productions — potentially unlocking $500 million annually to fuel European content and indie creators.

With Parliament still voting and loopholes for heavy investors, the future of German cinema hangs in the balance — but the industry is being urged to act fast before the window closes.
