  • German Documentary Format?

    Posted by Oliver Jones on December 4, 2008 at 10:49 pm

    Hi,

    I was recently told by a German distributor that my 52 minute documentary wasn’t the right format for German TV. Unfortunately he hasn’t given me any more information.

    Does anyone know what the German documentary TV format is?

    Thanks.

    Is your video formated for PAL? If it is in NTSC (The US standard) they probably won’t accept it.

    The copy was PAL.

    I think it’s either the length of my film (the standard French TV length: 52 minutes) or, more likely, the style.

    What kind of documentaries do german people watch?

    OR, a way to say “not interested”, even if the guy did point out it was an interesting subject.
