Since it was founded, the focus has been primarily on the publication of cinema films, including genre-defining anime in the early years ( Ghost in the Shell , Perfect Blue ) and Hong Kong films ( Where a good man goes ), today more arthouse productions from Japan ( Sakuran - Wild cherry blossom , Dolls , Nobody Knows ) and Korea ( I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK , Samaria ) and commercial films from India, the so-called Bollywood . Rapid Eye Movies has helped establish important Asian art house directors such as B. Johnnie To (with Heroic Trio , Running out of time , The Mission , Where a good man goes ), Takeshi Kitano (with Sonatine ), Takashi Miike (with Audition , Dead or Alive , Visitor Q ), Kim Ki-duk ( Seom - The Island ) and Park Chan-wook ( Joint Security Area ). For some years now, the distributor's segment has also been opening up towards European cinema, including new Greek films Attenberg by Athina Rachel Tsangari or Alpen by Yorgos Lanthimos or Belgian-Flemish productions such as Bullhead and the Ukrainian deaf drama The Tribe . Music documentaries such as Searching for Sugar Man are also part of the repertoire.
DVD distribution
In the late 1990s the distribution of VHS and DVDs was added, which is now the main field of activity of the label. Various film series have established themselves here: "Nippon Classics", "Pink Cinema" (about Pinku eiga ), "Pictures coming to eat you" and "Bollywood". With the releases of Bollywood titles, the label regularly achieved DVD chart positions in the Top Twenty.
Publishing
The publication of print products was added as the latest company segment. In 2006 the Bollywood - Rapid Eye magazine was launched, but was discontinued in 2007. In 2008 the book King of Bollywood - Shah Rukh Khan and the world of Indian cinema by Indian author Anupama Chopra was published in German and in 2009 the photo book Om Shanti Om - The magic of Indian cinema with photographs by Cologne photographer Jochen Manz.
Film production
Rapid Eye Movies' first co-produced feature film was released in 2011 with Underwater Love - A Pink Musical , in which Christopher Doyle was involved as cameraman and Stereo Total wrote the music.
Bollywood
Rapid Eye Movies is largely responsible for the success of popular Indian films ( Bollywood ) in Germany. With the theatrical release and later DVD release and the television broadcast of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham - In good and bad days a boom was triggered. Rapid Eye Movies is the German market leader for Bollywood with regular DVD releases and cinema releases.
