Bonus Film is a film production company founded in Vienna in 2001 .

history

Bonus Film GmbH was founded in summer 2001 by film editor Oliver Neumann , film director Barbara Gräftner , cameraman Robert Winkler and tax consultant Michael Mutz.

The company's first production and also Gräftner's debut feature film, the tragic comedy Mein Russland (2002), was awarded the Max Ophüls Prize . In the same year the company produced Paul Poets documentary about the sensational action by Christoph Schlingensief , who exhibited a “deportation container” with asylum seekers in Vienna's city center as part of the Wiener Festwochen and provoked passers-by to express opinions and feelings with the megaphone. The film, which won a special award at the WorldFest in Houston in 2003, was released on DVD in 2006 in the edition Der Österreichische Film .

In April 2008, the company was finally able to begin filming the cult television series of the 1970s , A real Viennese does not go under . The tragic comedy Echte Wiener - Die Sackbauer-Saga was released in Austrian cinemas on December 19, 2008 and reached around 160,000 moviegoers by the end of the year (total audience: 370,761), making the film the most successful Austrian production of 2008. Bonusfilm received the Diagonale 2008 award as the best production company in 2008.

The follow-up film to “Echte Wiener” will start in 2010. Large technical and personnel changes were necessary for budgetary reasons. Barbara Gräftner is the director of the second part . "Real Viennese - Die Deppat'n und die Gspritzt'n" will be the first feature film in Europe to be shot on the 7D digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR). The film is to be shot from May 2010 and will hit Austrian cinemas on December 16, 2010. The original script, also for the sequel, came from Ernst Hinterberger . After his version was, in his opinion, "turned upside down", he distanced himself from it and speaks of "spiritual father murder".
