Celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, Bavaria Film continues to move forward as a modern film and television group while looking back on a legacy that has shaped Germany’s cinematic landscape.
Established in 1919 as Münchener Lichtspielkunst near Munich, Bavaria’s history spans silent film and talking pictures, the onset of television and the modern digital era. Among the countless films that have shot at Bavaria’s studios are such diverse works as Elia Kazan’s 1953 thriller “Man on a Tightrope,” Robert Wise’s beloved “The Sound of Music” and Oliver Stone’s eye-opening “Snowden.”
Today one of Germany’s main film and TV producers and a leading provider of studio services, Bavaria ranked fourth last year among the country’s top producers in terms of production revenue. Fremantle’s Ufa was at No. 1 with €240 million ($273 million), followed by Constantin Film, Studio Hamburg and Bavaria with $176 million.

BERLIN -- The Alliance of German Producers -- Film & Television officially named the board of directors on Tuesday for each of its three sections.
Uli Aselmann (d.i.e. Film) and Stefan Arndt (X-Filme Creative Pool) will head the film section, while Alexander Thies (NFP) and Jutta Muller (Muller und Seelig Filmproduktion) will represent the television side. Holger Roost-Macias (Tresor TV Produktion) and Andreas Scheuermann (Brainpool) were elected to the board for the entertainment section.
The new alliance combines the memberships of three pre-existing producers associations: Film 20, a lobbying association for independent producers; the Bundesverband deutscher Fernsehproduzenten, which was comprised of TV producers; and the Association of German Entertainment Producers.
Each association also has named two delegates -- Wolf Bauer (UFA) and Martin Moszkowicz (Constantin) for film; Bernd Burgemeister (TV60) and Ulrich Lenze (Cinecentrum) for television; and Nicolas Paalzow (Janus TV) and Christian Franckenstein (MME) for entertainment. The delegates will have the same rights and duties as other board members, but will only hold the position for the first two years of transition.
