KINESCOPE FILM was founded in 2015 by producer and director Matthias Greving and is jointly managed by Managing Director Gerhard Schneider today. Together, they oversee the development and production of national and international feature films, scripted series and documentary projects.
Its scripted productions include the international high-end series BLACK GOLD (SCHWARZES GOLD) by Nina Wolfram and Tim Trachte, starring Harriet Herbig-Matten, Gwendoline Christie and Márton Csókás, featuring music by Hans Zimmer (winner of the Opus Klassik Award 2026, nominated for the German Camera Award), as well as the acclaimed feature films such as ELAHA by Milena Aboyan, starring Bayan Layla and Slavko Popadić (German Film Award nominations for Best Feature Film and Best Leading Actress), GOD'S CHILDREN (GOTTESKINDER) by Frauke Lodders (Max Ophüls Prize nomination), and THE HANDS OF MY MOTHER (DIE HÄNDE MEINER MUTTER) by Florian Eichinger (awarded at the Munich Film Festival).
KINESCOPE has also established itself as a producer of high-quality documentary content. Today, these productions are developed and produced within KINESCOPE FACTUAL, led by producer Anne Reißner. Its portfolio includes the multi-season NDR series THE SEA RESCUERS (DIE SEENOTRETTER), the Sky documentary INVENTED TRUTH – THE RELOTIUS AFFAIR (ERFUNDENE WAHRHEIT – DIE RELOTIUS-AFFÄRE) (winner of the German Camera Award and the German Television Award), as well as the ARTE documentary THE COEN BROTHERS, featuring George Clooney, Tilda Swinton and Oscar Isaac. In addition, KINESCOPE produces concert films and live productions with internationally renowned artists such as Hans Zimmer, Jonas Kaufmann and David Garrett.
The newly established KINESCOPE PICTURES expands the group with the development and production of scripted projects from its Munich office. Among its first productions is the international feature film co-production THE JOY OF SEX, directed by Sharon Maguire. Together, the three companies cover the full spectrum of premium scripted and unscripted content.
A particular focus of KINESCOPE is international co-production. Together with partners such as Seven Stories, Monumental Film and Night Train Media, KINESCOPE develops and produces projects for both the German and international markets. European and global collaborations form the foundation for creative partnerships, sustainable financing models and worldwide distribution.
KINESCOPE combines collaboration with established directors and writers with the promotion of emerging creative talent. At the heart of the company's work are stories of social and cultural relevance that carry a distinctive creative voice and resonate with audiences both nationally and internationally.
