The Babelsberg Film Studio ((ドイツ語:Filmstudio Babelsberg), ), located in Potsdam-Babelsberg outside Berlin, Germany, is the oldest large-scale film studio in the world, producing films since 1912. Today it covers an area of about and thus is Europe's largest film studio.〔(Studio Babelsberg ) - "Mit der Erschließung des direkt in der Nachbarschaft befindlichen Filmgeländes mit den Studios Neue Film 1 und Neue Film 2 konnte Studio Babelsberg seine Studiokapazitäten verdoppeln und verfügt so über Europas größten zusammenhängenden Studiokomplex.", retrieved 3 December 2013 (German)〕 Hundreds of films, including Fritz Lang's ''Metropolis'' and Josef von Sternberg's ''The Blue Angel'' were filmed there. More recent productions include ''V for Vendetta'', ''Æon Flux'', ''The Bourne Ultimatum'', ''Valkyrie'', ''Inglourious Basterds'', ''Cloud Atlas'', ''The Grand Budapest Hotel'' and ''The Hunger Games''. Today, Studio Babelsberg remains operational mainly for feature film productions. Furthermore, it acts as co-producer on international high budget productions. == History == In 1911, the film production company Deutsche Bioscope built its first glasshouse film studio in Neubabelsberg. The company had been originally formed by Jules Greenbaum in 1899 and incorporated in 1902. As his business increased, Greenbaum made a deal with the chemist Carl Moritz Schleussner of the photochemicals firm Schleussner AG in Frankfurt/Main. Carl Schleussner had been involved since 1896 in producing negative film stock for Röntgen photography soon after its discovery.〔Eisenbach, Ulrich, (2007).〕 On May 17, 1946, the DEFA - Deutsche Film AG - was established. It produced over 800 feature films, including 150 children's films. In addition, over 600 films were made for television from 1959 to 1990. The DEFA period was honored by a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York in 2005. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Treuhand took over the responsibility for the privatisation of the former DEFA. In August 1992, the Treuhandanstalt sold the former DEFA film studios in Babelsberg to the French group Compagnie Générale des Eaux (later absorbed into Vivendi Universal). Over the following 12 years the company invested around €500 million updating the studio's infrastructure. In July 2004, Vivendi sold Studio Babelsberg to the investment company FBB (Filmbetriebe Berlin Brandenburg GmbH), which has Carl Woebcken and Christoph Fisser as shareholders. In Spring of 2005, the restructured studio presented an initial public offering and began trading on the free market. 2007 was the most profitable year since the Studio's privatization in 1992 - 12 feature films were shot at Studio Babelsberg, among them ''Valkyrie'' with Tom Cruise, ''The International'' with Clive Owen, and ''The Reader'' with Kate Winslet. In 2008 Studio Babelsberg and Hollywood producer Joel Silver formed a strategic alliance to produce feature films from the Dark Castle production slate at the world’s oldest film studio. Recent co-productions of Studio Babelsberg include Quentin Tarantino's ''Inglourious Basterds'' (released 2009), Roman Polanski's ''The Ghost Writer'' (2010), Brian De Palma's ''Passion'' (2012), and George Clooney's ''The Monuments Men'' (2014). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Babelsberg Studio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
