REFERENCES – Geosfilm

The film production company geosfilm was founded 2007 by Hubert Schönegger. In the film industry Schönegger operates since 1989 – as a journalist, cameraman, editor and director for national and international productions for television programs that were broadcast primarily in the German and Italian speaking countries.

As a co-partner Schönegger was also responsible for many broadcasts. These includes at various festivals and nominated productions like “Floodplains in South Tyrol”, “On the Edge – My home, my life”, “South Tyrol – Life in the natural jewel” (ORF Universum), the seven nature parks in South Tyrol and many others. Experience by repeated cooperation with other production companies as EPO film (Austria), Movieman-Productions (Germany), producers like RAI Cinema (Cinecittà, Italy) and broadcasters like RAI, ORF, ARD, ZDF, SWR, SR, NDR, BR , PRO7, arte, 3sat, BBC, ServusTV are an important basis for many geosfilm productions.

Hubert Schönegger, owner of the company geosfilm KG, is in the personnel structure a small, but more efficient working company. Since its inception, geosfilm was successfully in the field of nature documentaries, with larger productions and also cultural documentaries, reportages and sports events. This is all the more remarkable because the company has shown that high-quality, internationally successful productions from South Tyrol at low production costs are possible. Geosfilm has worked out its leading market position in South Tyrol mainly by the continuous presence in the media. This is also repeatedly emphasized by various orders from South Tyrol and leading companies from all business sectors.

Well known productions of geosfilm include:

“Tears of the Sesto Dolomites” (2014)
“Floodplains in South Tyrol” (2013)
“Nature Parks in South Tyrol” (2006-2011)
“Heaven and Hell in South Tyrol” (2011)
“Carnic Trail – a trail with the past, a way of the future” (2010)
“Life on the Edge in South Tyrol” (2010)
“On the ridge of the times and cultures – along the Carnic Alpine Path” (2009)
“In the garden of the Dolomites” (2009)
“South Tyrol – Life in the natural jewel” ORF Universum (2007)
“Treasury of Diversity” (2006)
“Following in the footsteps of Capricorn” (2005)
“On the Edge – My home, my life” (2001)
“Gustav Mahler in the Puster Valley -” symphony of life “(2000)

Countless articles about Hubert Schönegger and geosfilm speak for themselves. Hubert Schönegger has realized more than 100 productions. Since the establishment of geosfilm 2007, there are more than 30.

Based and motivated by the success of such high ratings (eg ORF Universum “South Tyrol – Life in the natural jewel”, 835.000 viewers, 24.07.2008, “Living on the Edge in South Tyrol” 08.06.2011, market share 9.3%), Awards (Cerro d’Argento at the film festival Lessina (Verona) for “At the abyss – my home, my life”) and nominations at various festivals in Trento, Verona, Slovenia, Toronto, Milan, geosfilm will extend its production activities to other areas. The goal of the company in the near future is to draw attention to themselves with high-quality feature films for cinema and television, and thus to continue the previously successful strategy. The idea to produce a pilot project as “Tears of the Sesto Dolomites” has arised several years ago. The experience of being able to realize projects successfully with few, but all the more motivated employees, facilitated the corporation’s decision to also tackle a feature film with a small team.

Next to Hubert Schönegger this team includes Alexander Zeidler (Strassen, Osttirol), Martin Schönegger, and Peter Leiter (Sillian, Osttirol), and the composer Hansjörg Mutschlechner. These freelancers are for years an indispensable part of the success story of geosfilm. All bring their own experiences, their ideas and their creativity in the productions and provide a strong foundation to geosfilm.

Geosfilm also relies on his experience and success as a production company for documentaries. These productions will continue to form the foundations of the company. In addition to this basics the activity will now be expanded to feature films. Through the main activity in South Tyrol geosfilm is able to access countless locations. In addition, the production company has support from other companies, clubs and organizations, as well as film crews, that are all familiar to the field and also have cooperated successfully with geosfilm. This is a priceless advantage for films and the company.
