'''<em>Different From The Others</em>''' (<em>Anders als die Andern</em>) is a 1919 German silent film, produced by Richard Oswald (<em>Around The World in Eighty Days</em>, 1919) and co-written by Oswald and Dr. [[Magnus Hirschfeld]], which was intended as a political statement against then-current anti-homosexuality laws. Dr Hirschfeld had a minor performing role as a physician, assumed to be Dr. Hirschfeld himself.

The film starred several well-known German actors of the era, including Conrad Veidt, Ilse Von Tasso-Lind, and Alexandra Willegh.

The film was directed by Director Richard Oswald and the Director of Photography was Max Fassbender, both veterans of the silent film industry.

The film introduced such concepts as gender identity, crossdressing, drag performance, and intersexuality to previously naive audiences.
