CinePostproduction GmbH

What CinePostproduction GmbH does

CinePostproduction GmbH is a German private limited company (GmbH) providing post-production services for cinema, television, and streaming productions. Headquartered in Unterföhring near Munich and led by managing directors Anja Mügler and David Müller, the company operates four core service lines: cinema post-production (Kino-Postproduktion), television post-production (TV-Postproduktion), digitization and restoration (Digitalisierung | Restaurierung), and facility rental covering editing suites, cinema/TV screening rooms, and audio studios. Technical capabilities center on high-end 4K workflows up to HDR quality for theatrical remastering, alongside decades of analog film experience used for faithful restoration of historical works.

The company extends beyond pure services through two affiliated platforms: SHARC, described as Germany's most-used trailer platform and largest e-Delivery network reaching 1,500+ cinemas across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and Copra, a team collaboration and communication platform for film production teams. Together these platforms create an integrated workflow from shooting through cinema delivery, supplementing traditional service revenue with platform and distribution economics.

CinePostproduction operates a B2B project-based services model, with revenue generated through negotiated contracts with production companies, broadcasters, streaming platforms, film archives, and distributors. Named customers include Constantin Film, Rat Pack Filmproduktion, Lieblingsfilm, if... Productions, Paramount Pictures Germany, ARD/Das Erste, Bantry Bay Productions (Disney+), and cultural foundations such as the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Stiftung, DEFA-Stiftung, and Bundesarchiv. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based per project. The geographic focus is the DACH region, with international visibility through film festival presence at Berlinale, Cannes, Venice, Tribeca, and IFFR. Note that firmographic data lists a 1911 founding date, while the company logo and operational history indicate brand operations since 2011; this discrepancy is not reconciled in the source material.
