Global Screen is delighted to announce that it will be
taking on the international distribution of "The Wannsee
Conference".
This co-production by Constantin Television and ZDF will
commence filming in Berlin in November. On the morning of
20 January 1942, in a villa on the Großer Wannsee in
Berlin, leading members of the Nazi regime came together.
They had been invited by Reinhard Heydrich to a "meeting
followed by breakfast"; the gathering would go down in
history as the "Wannsee Conference". The sole topic on the
agenda that morning was what the Nazis called the “Final
Solution to the Jewish Question”: the organization of the
systematic mass murder of millions of Jews across Europe.
The film follows the minutes of this meeting as recorded
by Adolf Eichmann, of which only one copy remains, and
which is a key document pertaining to the Holocaust.
Directed by Matti Geschonneck ("Unterleuten"), the
participants of the conference are played by Johannes
Allmayer ("Colonia Dignidad"), Maximilian Brückner
("Arctic Circle"), Godehard Giese ("Babylon Berlin"),
Philipp Hochmair ("Freud"), Arnd Klawitter ("Dark"),
Thomas Loibl ("Charité"), Sascha Nathan ("Skylines"),
Rafael Stachowiak ("Naked among Wolves") and many others.

Constantin Film AG, and Alexandra Heidrich, Head of

"Oktoberfest: Beer & Blood" ("Oktoberfest 1900"):
– Meet the main protagonists
– German period drama "Oktoberfest: Beer & Blood"
promises a lot in its title. There’s certainly a lot of
beer here and more than a fair share of blood spilled too.
Depicting the birth of the German beer festival
Oktoberfest, Netflix’s latest foreign acquisition is
certainly a brilliantly boozy series. It is a decent
period drama that serves up a cold enough brew and enough
bad blood to make this a bold ensemble worth checking out.
One thing’s for sure though, the production value to this
show is excellent. Overall rating 3,5 out of 5. Full
season recap and review by Greg Wheeler on The Review Geek, 10/1/20
– "Oktoberfest: Beer & Blood" is bigger, and darker,
than "Dark". The newest Netflix international original
series goes where few dare to venture. Review by Dais
Johnston on Inverse, 10/1/2020
– "Oktoberfest: Beer and Blood" Ending Explained: German
show deserves Season 2 for Roman Hoflinger to exact
revenge. The show can chart in future seasons, how these
beer empires rise and fall. So far, ‘Oktoberfest: Beer and
Blood’ has not been renewed for a second season. But it
definitely deserves one. If nothing, we should get to see
if Roman will get to exact his revenge on Prank, don’t we?
