Oscar Success for 'All Quiet on the Western Front' to Push Film ... (Hollywood Reporter)

The German war drama, which won four Oscars, was funded by Netflix, entirely outside the country's tradition state subsidy system.

That [the most successful ](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/all-quiet-on-the-western-front-producer-film-resonance-oscars-1235339192/)German film ever at the Academy [Awards](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/awards/) was bankrolled by a U.S. Roth has called for a fundamental overhaul of Germany’s €600 million ($640 million) a year film funding system, citing All Quiet on the Western Front as an example of how filmmaking has transformed and why Germany’s very bureaucratic funding system needs to adjust. One of Roth’s proposals is to have Netflix and other major streaming companies contribute more to funding German movies. [Netflix](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/netflix/) film — fully financed outside Germany’s state subsidy system — was the cause of some handwringing. “A huge success for German cinema,” raved German Chancellor, or prime minister, Olaf Scholz in a message to Berger and his team. The culture minister used her opening night speech at this year’s Berlin Film Festival to make the point that streaming services have dramatically changed the “environment for creating, making and experiencing movies” and that the German funding system, which relies on financing and distribution from television broadcasters and theatrical distributors, is out of pace with the times.
