  • Cinecittà

    Just a short ride with the metro and you´re at Fellinis home: la Cinecittà. He actually really lived on these grounds!

    Founded in 1937 by Mussolini Cinecittà has been a working studio areal to this day. During our visit a remake of “Ben Hur” was shoot and according to the guide they were expecting the crew from the new Bond movie soon. (I´m sorry but “zero zero sette” doesn´t sound that sexy!)

  • Rainy Cinecittà – first impressions

    Ciao from Rome! So beautiful even when it´s raining cats and dogs! After some caffé we took the Metro to take a tour through Cinecittà. At the moment a remake of “Ben Hur” is shot there (we catched to see a glimpse of one set – no photographs allowed!) and Zero-Zero-Sette will start soon!

    We saw sets from different movies like “Gangs of New York” and a lot of the tv-show “Rome”. Here are some first (rainy) impressions:

  • Rosenhügelstudios – Halle 1

    This part of the Rosenhügelstudios is one of the oldest. Around 1919, when Vita-Film built these studios, daylight was used to shoot movies. The studios used to have huges windows and ceilings made of glass. But Vita-Film choose to believe in technologie and built one of the first studios for artifical light.

    Halle 1 is 24 metres wide, 90 metres long and around 40 metres high. A 3 metres deep basin enabled underwater pictures.

    Movies like “Samson and Delila”, “Hoffmans Erzählungen”, “Hotel Potemkin”, “Maskerade” and many many more were produced at Rosenhügelstudios. Or more recent the tv-show “Mundl” or movies like “Der Bockerer”, “Funny Games” and “Die Klavierspielerin”.
