Consistency within the crisis – construction documentary for ThyssenKrupp in Brazil
For about three years now fact+film has been following the construction of a steel mill in Sepetiba bay not far from Rio de Janeiro. Awarding authority and client of fact+film is the ThyssenKrupp AG.
One German and one Brazilian team accompany the staff from management to construction supervision.
Designed for cinemas the documentary provides insights into the secret world of one of the ten largest construction projects in the world, like the struggle with the weather, the budget and the very tight schedule.
It will be a panopticon of human stories, technical challenges and, at the same time, a mirror of political incidences like the global economy crisis.
Intelligent Parcels and a truck car pool on nano (3sat)
On june 8th 2009 fact+film has reported on how intelligent parcels will soon find their own way and form truck car pools. Two projects at the “Bremer Institut für Produktion und Logistik” (Department for Production and Logistics) try to reach this goal by providing the parcels with different sorts of chips and other technology and completely reorganize logistics. Through “intelligent self-control” even import cars are to make independent decisions and tell their driver where to go.
Data cable – arteries of global economy
For an arte/NDR production fact+film is getting to the bottom of the ocean and its cable spaghetti.
Global economy depends on those overseas data cables. The film shows what happens if one of these cables cracks. How they are produced and installed. How a seamouse is supposed to help getting even more data through optical fibre that is thinner than a human hair within a short time.
Electronic, microbiological and bionic detail illustrations, deep sea shots and digital animations show the audience what happens furtively when they go on the internet.
Reportage shots from the world of cables and researches are to be suggestive of how strongly our daily life depends on this technology.

Brother No. two
In 1975 two to three million Cambodians fell victim to the brutal and gory regime of terror that was installed by Pol Pot, the leader of the "Red Khmer" just after their takeover. Close to Phnom Penh there was a massacre where 17.000 people were killed, which is now known under the term "killing fields" Nuon Chea, who was the head ideologist and also the representative of Pol Pot, was called "Brother No. 2". Now, 30 years later, he will appear before the international "Red khmer" tribunal. In terms of an international co-production Oak-3 films in Singapore and fact+film in Bremen implement a HDTV- documentary to deal with this topic.
The project is supported by "Media Development Authority Singapore" (MDA).
