“TIMES OF TURMOIL” IS COMPLETED
On 23 October 2024, the last take was shot on the set of ‘Unruhe um einen Friedfertigen’. This marks the end of filming for the co-production between DAS DACH partners Claussen+Putz and Film AG from Vienna after 56 exciting days of shooting.
Directed by Matti Geschonneck, we follow the touching story of shoemaker Julius Kraus (played by Josef Hader), who lives a secluded life on the edge of the village community. He is drawn deeper and deeper into the maelstrom of dramatic political events between 1918 and Hitler’s rise to power in 1933, until an inheritance from the USA and the revelation of his Jewish identity leads to his downfall. Hannah Hollinger wrote the screenplays for the adaptation of Oskar Maria Graf’s novel. The historical two films are expected to be shown on ZDF and ORF at the end of 2025.
ANDREAS KLEINERT SHOOTS MUNICH TATORT
Shooting for our new Tatort – ‘Das Verlangen’ (AT) will continue until 03.09.2024 in a venerable Munich theatre, directed by Andreas Kleinert. In addition to the three main actors Mirsolav Nemec, Udo Wachtveitl and Ferdinand Hofer, Ursina Lardi, Robert Kuchenbuch, Liliane Amuat and many more are in front of Johann Feindt’s camera.
Chekhov’s ‘The Seagull’ is performed in a time-honoured Munich theatre. But the performance takes a tragic turn when the aspiring actress Nora (Giulia Goldammer) collapses dead on stage. Batic (Miroslav Nemec), Leitmayr (Udo Wachtveitl) and Hammermann (Ferdinand Hofer) go behind the scenes of the dazzling theatre world because they suspect a murderer in the midst of the ensemble. In the hectic everyday life of the theatre, the detectives come across jealousy, affairs and abysses. Anyone could have a motive. And then a dark secret from the recent past turns the spotlight on another clue…
