Anne Leppin (born May 25, 1967 in West Berlin ) is a German film producer and has been managing director of the German Film Academy since 2011 .

Life

Anne Leppin grew up in West Berlin and graduated from high school in 1987. From 1988 to 1990 she completed an apprenticeship in dubbing and sound editing at Interopa Film . From 1991 she studied social and business communication at the Berlin University of the Arts with a focus on audiovisual communication. She graduated with a diploma in 1996.

Career as a producer and line producer

Even during her studies, Anne Leppin worked as a unit manager and production manager for various films, e. B. Condom of horror . In 1998, together with Sigrid Hoerner and Martin Walz, she founded Moneypenny Filmproduktion , which primarily specialized in films by young talents at the time such as Eoin Moore and Hannes Stöhr . In 2001 Leppin, Hoerner and Walz won the Cologne Conference producer award .

Leppin remained partner and managing director of Moneypenny Filmproduktion until the end of 2010 and, as a producer or production manager , made the films Sonnenallee (director: Leander Haußmann ), One Day in Europe (director: Hannes Stöhr) and Im Schwitzkasten (director: Eoin Moore) ), Hilde (director: Kai Wessel ) and Who if not we (director: Andres Veiel ).

Management of the German Film Academy

At the beginning of 2011, Anne Leppin took over the management of the German Film Academy, initially together with Alfred Holighaus . After Holighaus switched to the central organization of the film industry (SPIO) in July 2015 , Leppin continued to run the academy on his own. With Maria Köpf taking over as co-managing director in April 2019, Leppin is once again part of a management duo.

During her tenure as managing director, Leppin brought a number of new projects and initiatives to the German Film Academy with her. The Lola at Berlinale project, which began in 2011, is showing all of the feature, documentary and children's films selected for the German Film Prize as part of the Berlinale . In the Mein Film series, also started in 2011 , prominent personalities who do not come from the film industry present their favorite films to the members of the Academy. Since 2012, the Academy has organized the Lola Festival and the accompanying Lola Visions series of talks, a public forum for the films and filmmakers nominated for the German Film Prize.

The educational offers and the socio-political commitment of the academy were also expanded during Leppin's tenure. In 2011, for example, the Academy and the Federal Agency for Civic Education started the project Seeing Classics - Understanding Films , which conveys film history in schools nationwide. In 2015 the series Kino für Refugete was launched , and in 2016 the Mix it project followed , in which young people with and without a refugee background create short films together for a week.

Leppin also campaigned for the German Film Academy in 2018, together with other professional and industry associations, to found the Themis trust center against sexual harassment and violence , which offers those affected from the culture and media industry a contact point with legal and psychological advice.

Further engagements

Partly as a result of her work as managing director of the Deutsche Filmakademie, Anne Leppin participates in committees of various other institutions, including the administrative board of the Filmförderungsanstalt , the board of trustees of the Deutsche Kinemathek , the film advisory board of the Goethe Institute , the board of trustees of the sponsoring association of German children's films and the supervisory board of the federal cultural events in Berlin (KBB). As a representative of the German Film Academy, she is also an institutional member of the Central Organization of the Film Industry (SPIO) and the European Film Academy .
