X Filme Creative Pool is a German television and film production company based in Berlin.[1]

History

[edit]

X Filme was founded in 1994 in Berlin by the directors Tom Tykwer, Dani Levy and Wolfgang Becker and the producer Stefan Arndt. The inspiration for X Filme Creative Pool were the founders of United Artists, with the idea that artistic and, above all, economic independence should enable more creative work. The first film that X Filme produced was Dani Levy's Silent Night in 1995. In 1998, the company became synonymous with a new, young German cinema thanks to the international success of Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run. This was followed by other films that were successful at the box office and in some cases also with film critics, such as Tykwer's Heaven, Becker's Good Bye, Lenin! and Levy's Alles auf Zucker!. In 2000, however, 50.1% of the shares were sold to Berlin-based Senator Film.

In 2000, the company founded its own film distribution company X Verleih [de], which works closely with the German branch of Warner Bros. using its distribution structure. X Filme has also been working with Warner Home Video in the home entertainment sector since the end of 2001, supplying content that WHV Germany and WHV Switzerland distribute through their traditional channels.

After Senator Film went broke in 2004, the partners tried to buy the company back from the bankruptcy estate. However, this was unsuccessful, so Becker, Tykwer and Levy founded Y Filme in February 2006.[2] In February 2008, Senator Film announced its separation from X Filme while maintaining distribution arrangements.[3] Stefan Arndt, Dani Levy and Tom Tykwer continued to manage the company. In May 2024, Tykwer took over the managing director position from Arndt, with Uwe Schott, a producer who had joined X Filme in 2009, joining Tykwer to head the company.[1]
