Productions
In 2004, for the 15th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, LOOKSfilm produced the series Life Behind the Wall , which was awarded the Adolf-Grimme-Preis. [3] Accompanied by archive material and newly developed amateur films, photos and documents, contemporary witnesses have their say. Their different perspectives and stories trace a personal image of the GDR. [4]
The company co-produced Age of Uprising: The Legend of Michael Kohlhaas , starring Mads Mikkelsen and Bruno Ganz. Arnaud des Pallières' adaptation of the Kleist-Novella Michael Kohlhaas was nominated for the 2013 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. [5] In 2014, the film won the French César Award for Best Sound and Best Music. [6]
Based on diaries and letters, the international co-production 14 – Diaries of the Great War (2014) retold the experiences of real people as dramas and interwoven these with archive material. [7] 14 – Diaries of the Great War was the first production by LOOKSfilm for which Netflix acquired license rights. [8] More LOOKSfilm productions and co-productions followed, such as: My Friend Rockefeller (2015), The Cuba Libre Story (2016), and Age of Tanks (2018). With Bobby Kennedy for President (2018), LOOKSfilm co-produced with Netflix directly, among others.
In 2017, LOOKSfilm produced the documentary film Hitler's Hollywood. The film, directed by Rüdiger Suchsland, examines the significance of German cinema during the Nazi era. Based on selected film clips, the film illustrates how the German film industry aimed at creating a second Hollywood. [9] Between 1933 and 1945, the roughly 1,000 Nazi productions served not only as entertainment, but also as a tool for the indoctrination of the population. [10] [11]
Clash of Futures (2018), the continuation of 14 – Diaries of the Great War, recounts the interwar period in Europe on the basis of 13 fates. [12] [13] As of 2019, it is the company's largest international co-production, with over 20 international partners and channels. [14]
