A "Fernsehfilm" is a German term for a television film, which is a movie produced specifically for broadcast on television rather than for theatrical release. These films can vary in length, typically ranging from 60 to 120 minutes, and often cover a wide range of genres, including drama, comedy, and thriller. Fernsehfilme are usually made by television networks and can feature well-known actors and directors. They are often produced as part of a series or as standalone films, and they may address contemporary social issues or adapt popular literature, making them accessible to a broad audience.
