German Film Law Does Away With Diversity Clause, but Local Producers Remain Optimistic: It’s ‘Part of Our Culture and We’re Not Going to Give It Up’

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent As Germany shifts to the right, will its movies and TV series become less diverse? After making major strides to promote diversity in film and TV productions in recent years, the German film industry could now be facing a setback in this effort. The country, which is home to the Berlin Film Festival and European conglomerates such as RTL Group, recently passed a film funding law that removed a clause requiring all local productions to meet specific diversity, gender equality and inclusion criteria.

Claire Denis in Talks to Direct Cannibal Crime Drama ‘The Soap Maker’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Revered French auteur Claire Denis is in advanced talks to direct cannibalistic crime drama “The Soap Maker.” The project, being shopped around at Berlin’s EFM, is an updated remake of Italian director Mauro Bolognini’s 1977 cult movie “Gran Bollito,” which starred Shelley Winters as a serial killer who cooked the bodies of her victims into soap, cake and cookies. The English-language film is inspired by the true story of Italy’s Leonarda Cianciulli, who in the late 1930s and early ’40s murdered three local women in the central Italian town of Correggio and disposed of their bodies with chemicals — using what was left to make soaps, candles, cookies and cakes that she shared with people in her community.
