On 7 August 2026, the new regional office was opened in Cologne <strong>NRW Production Alliance<\/strong> founded. Its aim is to bring together the interests of the film and media production industry in North Rhine-Westphalia more effectively within the national representative body.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The new structure is based on the previous <strong>Film and Media Association of North Rhine-Westphalia (FUMV)<\/strong>. Its members had previously decided to dissolve the association. Back in early 2024, the FUMV and its member companies had joined the Production Alliance. With the establishment of the regional branch, the regional work carried out to date will now be integrated into the structures of the Production Alliance.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">CEO and Managing Director of the Production Alliance <strong>Michelle M\u00fcntefering<\/strong> described the establishment of the organisation as an important step in representing the interests of North Rhine-Westphalia\u2019s film and media sector. In the face of international competition and economic and technological changes, a united voice representing these interests is of particular importance.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The Managing Director of Produktionsallianz NRW is <strong>Rafaela Wilde<\/strong>. She sees the new regional structure as combining the FUMV\u2019s long-standing regional expertise with the Production Alliance\u2019s nationwide advocacy work.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The following were appointed to the Executive Board of the NRW Production Alliance: <strong>Sebastian Griese (MMC Movies Cologne), Knut Kremling (Banijay Germany), Sabine de Mardt (Gaumont), Matthias Murmann (btf\/bildundtonfabrik), Stefan Oelze (Rosebank Entertainment)<\/strong> and <strong>Birgit Schulz (Bildersturm Film Production)<\/strong> elected.<\/p><p>With its new regional structure, the production alliance aims to strengthen networking and knowledge transfer within North Rhine-Westphalia\u2019s production sector, whilst at the same time representing the interests of this major film and media hub more effectively at federal level.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f80f46 e-flex e-con-boxed creativo-sticky-disabled e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6f80f46\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;enable_creativo_sticky&quot;:&quot;disabled&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27580de elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"27580de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/produktionsallianz.de\/neue-regionalgliederung-produktionsallianz-nrw-staerkt-film-und-medienstandort-nordrhein-westfalen\/\">To the press release<\/a><\/h3><h5>\u00a0<\/h5><h5>Image: \u00a9 Unsplash<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die Produktionsallianz hat ihre regionale Pr\u00e4senz in Nordrhein-Westfalen ausgebaut.
