What Interspot Film does

Interspot Film-Gesellschaft m.b.H. is a family-owned Austrian full-service film and television production company headquartered in Vienna-Liesing at Walter-Jurmann-Gasse 4. Founded in 1969 by Rudolf Klingohr and now led by second-generation family members Nikolaus Klingohr, Nils Klingohr, and Ingrid Klingohr, the company employs over 100 staff and produces approximately 720 television hours annually. It operates Austria's largest private TV studio complex, comprising four studios (140-500 m²), 12 Avid editing suites, three HD control rooms, and 4K/HD production equipment supporting daily live formats alongside studio rental services branded 'Das MMC Haus Wien'.

The company's core offerings fall into three revenue streams: (1) TV and film production services as producer, co-producer, or full-service provider, including recurring daily magazine formats (Seitenblicke for ORF since 1997, Studio2 and Konkret for ORF since 2019), quiz shows (Quizmaster and Quizjagd for ServusTV since 2015 and 2018), the Universum documentary series co-produced with ZDF/ARTE, fiction projects launched since 2022, and entertainment formats; (2) studio and equipment rentals to external production companies, advertising agencies, and event organizers; and (3) audio description (Hörfilm) services for visually impaired audiences, with over 8,000 minutes produced since 2010. The company also offers international production support leveraging up to 45% Austrian film incentives.

Interspot's go-to-market is relationship-driven and sales-led, anchored by long-term commissioning relationships with ORF (Austria's public broadcaster) and ServusTV, co-production partnerships with ZDF/ARTE and Czech Television, and distribution agreements with ORF Enterprise and Picture Tree International for international sales. The company is funded entirely by the Klingohr family with no external investors, holds the Austrian Ecolabel for Green Producing in Film and Television since 2021, and reports operating geographies across DACH (Austria, Germany, France).
