MADE IN GERMANY
FILMPRODUKTION
In the beginning, there is always a vision – passionate and euphoric. A desire to dare something, something different. Our vision: a successful cinematic (art) work. A film that stands out from others, that speaks a new language, that frees itself from conformism, that is unique and that leaves a lasting memory thanks to its quality – in short, a film that is MADE IN GERMANY. Our task is to translate this vision into convincing and challenging stories.
The MADE IN GERMANY Filmproduktion GmbH is an independent film production company headquartered in Cologne. We develop and (co)produce high-quality documentaries and feature films for a German, European and international audience. We are always keen to choose films with stories that deal with societal, social and political topics and that promise to be visually powerful.
