We were approached by the University Viadrina Frankfurt to produce a longer form film showcasing their unique and important 'Digital Archive of Jewish Authors in Berlin 1933-1945'. The film comprises assets from the archive, typography and photography and celebrates the work of Jewish authors in Berlin.

Producer and Director: Ben Sherriff

Voice Studio: Voiceovers.co.uk

Platforms: Festival Screening

A historical documentary modern streaming platform aesthetic

We produced this film in both English and German language versions, taking media and script supplied by the client and weaving this into a sensitive and highly stylistic After Effects animation.

The client was very pleased with the final result and the project was delivered in a relatively short timeframe in order to meet a screening deadline for the launch of the archive.

Taking sensitive subject matter we worked hard to find the right tone of voice and score for the film. Aesthetically we wanted it to feel like a historical Netflix documentary and we like to think we achieved that!
