Contributing to social change through filmmaking?
We are cineMars, an award-winning European film production company based in Cologne with the vision to create appealing visual content that lays the base for discussion and invites to rethink and reflect.
Filming for change is the overarching mantra that lays the foundation for all our projects – may they be of documentary, fictional or commercial nature. Our goal is to contribute to long-lasting positive change – both through our films and creativity.
We focus on themes which are highly relevant to society such as integration, diversity, education or sustainability.
At cineMars, sustainability isn’t a mere buzzword but a matter of the heart – which is why we constantly evaluate and re-evaluate our own social and ecological footprint, make sustainability a core pillar of our work, hoping to be role models for others.
We are also qualified to provide consultancy services and aid other productions and companies as Green Consultant.
That means we support our clients towards becoming a greener production by working on a suitable strategy that includes compliance with ecological standards and making changes to the status quo.
We help you translate your idea into captive visuals.
As a full-service film production enterprise we accompany you through every step of your request. From developing the idea and storyline, running the production, to the final edit of your film – no matter which platform you prefer. You can count on us as a reliable and creative partner when it comes to communicating your story.
Your idea matches our values? Perfect, we’re more than happy to chat.

Through working on our own projects for webvideo, TV and cinema we are able to realize our vision. We want to engage in society. Our work focuses on the people, social issues and solutions. Through our film projects we create spaces for personal stories and deeper discussions.
Teamwork makes the dream work. The nature of our work is collaborative. That’s why we’re always open to work with individuals or other production companies sharing the same values as us.
No matter at which step you are with your project. Get in touch and we’re happy to discuss story-development, shooting, post production and more.
