As the arthouse market is struggling with declining audiences, Germany’s Pandora Film continues to achieve success in both production and distribution with an eclectic lineup.
The Cologne-based company’s shareholders — producers Claudia Steffen, Christoph Friedel, Reinhard Brundig and Raimond Goebel — attribute their strong performance in part to their close working relationships with filmmakers. Pandora’s recent co-productions include Claire Denis’ upcoming science-fiction drama “High Life,” starring Robert Pattinson and Juliette Binoche; Marcelo Martinessi’s award-winning Paraguayan drama “The Heiresses”; and Ulrich Koehler’s German feature “In My Room,” which premieres in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard.
Steffen and Friedel spoke with Variety about the company’s latest productions, the current industry climate and the company’s inner workings.
Where is Pandora Film today, both as a producer-distributor in Germany and as a key partner for international filmmakers?
Steffen: With our distribution colleagues we have been reacting to the increasingly difficult German arthouse market.
