Amber film is a small, independent company for the
production and distribution of documentary and experimental
films and videos. Based in Berlin, the company was founded
in 1994 by filmmaker and director of photography Rolf Coulanges,
who graduated from the cinematography and directing programs
at the German Film and Television Academy (dffb) in Berlin
in 1984, and began his career as a director of photography
and director of documentaries for the German public broadcasters
NDR and ZDF. He is joined by Haitian director Claudette Coulanges,
who graduated from the International School for Film and Television
(EICTV) in San Antonio, Cuba in 1993. She has made a number
of documentaries including CHERCHER LA VIE.

Amber film's activities primarily involve the production
and distribution of independent films for cinema and television,
partly in partnership with various film foundations in Germany.
The company also contributes its camera equipment and editing
suite to other productions, mainly when Rolf Coulanges is
on board as director of photography.
Thematically our films focus on the politics and culture
of Latin America and Africa and their roots in various arts
and societies, as well as music & dance and their history.
We are generally involved in the productions as director of
photography and / or as directors, and we develop also scripts
and projects in the fields of artistic, experimental and documentary
cinema.
To date, Amber Films has produced and distributed six feature-length
documentary and experimental films, which premiered at major
international film festivals and have gone on to screen theatrically
around the world.
