Once upon a time, creepy fairy tales from the heart of Europe conquered the globe: HANSEL AND GRETEL, SNOW WHITE, and LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD.
Once upon a time, German fantastical cinema was a world-renowned brand: NOSFERATU, FAUST, METROPOLIS, THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI, DR. MABUSE and THE GOLEM.
We Germans have an itch for fantastic stories, an itch that haven't scratched long enough. We want to tell tales for a wide-eyed audience like you. And all good tales begin with, ‘Once upon a time…’
Once upon a time there was a bunch of lovers of genre films from Berlin, Zurich and Vienna, from London, New York, Paris and Sydney. Those people believed that great fantastical stories could come from anywhere in the world. They felt that German cinema had hidden its dark, supernatural side long enough - and that it was long since time to do something about that.
Let’s make this tale come true. Let's gather around the globe. Let's breathe life into another GOLEM. Let's get hypnotized by another CALIGARI. Let's awaken another NOSFERATU. Together.
