The Zarah Leander Files
A Film by Torsten Striegnitz and Simone Dobmeier
Zarah Leander was the Third Reich’s greatest film star. Admired by the Nazis she became the best-paid film diva ever signed by the UFA. Until today Zarah Leander is intrinsically tied to our collective memory. At the peak of her career in early 1943, Zarah Leander suddenly leaves her mansion in Berlin and returns to her home country Sweden. Around the same time, rumours are starting to spread which will ultimately determine the myth of Zarah Leander: a Nazi diva, a non-political actress or a soviet spy. THE ZARAH LEANDER FILES immerses into the life of the Swedish film diva and asks who is is really behind the mysterious look, the frivolous songs and pompous gestures? Who was Zarah Leander really?
The Future is now! China‘s Art Avant-Garde
A 4-part documentary series by Ilka Franzmann and Marco Wilms.
In China, "the" land of globalization and gold-rush spirit, art likewise follows the Circe-song of international capital. Just like the skyscrapers of Shanghai, the prices for Chinese art are skyrocketing to new heights. By now, Chinese artists are being exhibited all over the world, including at important museums in Paris, and are being feted at leading international art events such as the Venice Biennale and Kassel Documenta. In the four part series, we reveal the background and underlying stories behind the extraordinary work of the leading Chinese Shooting Stars – all of whom are representatives of a generation in upheaval and change.
Modern Ruins – Fordlândia
A 5-part documentary series
4. Fordlândia – Henry Ford's Jungle Utopia Fordlândia, the American dream visualized in a town, is now located as a modern ruin in the Brazilian jungle and tells about the limits of globalization, long before this word was even invented. In 1928 the king of car building, Henry Ford, not only wanted to secure the natural rubber production for his cars with his model settlement in the Amazonas. He also had the plan to transfer the American way of living into the primeval forest as a civilazationary experiment. But as keen as his vision was and as determined as Ford pumped money into the project for 20 years, as merciless and relentless his dreams failed. Human and nature fought back – today Fordlandia is a spectacular, almost completely deserted and decaying town in the jungle, a modern ruin telling about the failure of the American dream.

But when the mine was shut down in 2005, the huge industrial space lost its purpose and was abandoned. Ever since then the site has been waiting for a new destiny.

Fiords and Rain Forests
In coproduction with Making Movies (New Zealand), Bearcage (Australia) and ZDF/ARTE
In this region the only way to get around is by helicopter. Pilot Hannibal Hays works in the sparsely populated and remote areas of the 12.500 km² the big national park Fiordland. In 1952 it was made a nature reserve, since 1986 the area with its 15 fiords is part of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage. Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound are considered natural wonders and belong to the most astonishing nature travel destinations of the country. The difficult accessibility of the landscape give pilots an important role, they are responsible for ambulance transportation, help deer hunting, which became a plague after the import from Europe as they were lacking a natural enemy. Like the whole country also Fiordland doesn’t have any native mammals. In the nutritious waters at the coastline of Fiordland large numbers of fish are found, but also seals are attracted by the big food supply found in the Tasman Sea and the fiords. At the coastline crayfishers make a living by importing for the international market. Again the helicopter helps to bring the fresh fish immediately to the airport.
On a steamer we travel further north to Queenstown, the mountain capital of the southern island. The area around Queenstown is not just a Mecca for paragliding, but also has been scenery for The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Not far behind the city the Southern Alps form an impressive mountain range, which remind of the European Alps in name and vegetation.
The Tasman Sea blows humid air at the western hillside of the mountains. The western mountain slobs belong to the rainiest areas of the world and are covered with chilly rain forests. Apart from giant ferns and moss, southern beeches ground their roots into the thin, fertile stratum. The forests are the natural habitat of the Kakapo, the only parrot, which is unable to fly. The Kakapo is one of the most endangered species and a special breeding program was founded to secure its future existence.
