 The X Filme Group (“Good Bye Lenin!”, “Run Lola Run”, “Go for Zucker”, “The White Ribbon”, “Cloud Atlas”) is about to be re-structured. To adjust to the increasingly complex audiovisual industry, development, production, distribution and sales will be merged under the X Filme Holding GmbH. Jan Mojto´s Beta Film will become a strategic partner.

DZ Bank´s Andreas Brey will join the management team of the newly-founded holding company, which will be headed by him, Stefan Arndt and Uwe Schott. Within the X Filme Group, Andreas Brey will be responsible for finances and business development in particular.

X Filme Creative Pool GmbH and X Verleih AG will continue conducting their business with the same team.

X Filme CEO Stefan Arndt: “After being an active player for more than 22 years in Germany´s film, TV, distribution and cinema markets, I am delighted to be able to enjoy the pleasures of film art with partners such as Tom Tykwer, Wolfgang Becker, Dani Levy, Uwe Schott and Manuela Stehr for many more years to come.”

X Filme Holding CEOs Uwe Schott and Andreas Brey: “In partnering up with Beta Film, X Filme will profit even more from the interlocking of production and national and international sales. We are very happy that, together with Beta, we will be able to further position and establish German filmmaking with national and international productions on the national and international market as a force in the industry to be reckoned with.”

Jan Mojto, CEO of Beta Film: “For us, this partnership is another step in working together with the interesting German producers to create content for the international market out of Germany.”
