also moved to Luna film, there is only scant information, despite the fact that the Luna Film Distribution GmbH (to this there is here, not the German Luna-Film ) to Filmladen (and after Constantin Film Holding Austria ) for years the third-largest Austrian film distributor is, with annual sales of 3% market share or 200000-500000 admissions to his films (Austrian, but also many foreign; similar to the movie store, "evergreen" by Luna film is, for example. the U.S. horror movie "The Saw", where was previously awarded to any development in Austria, The Saw 3 last with 150,000 admissions, that is quite successful, and the French blockbuster "Welcome to the Sticks" is in Austria presented by Luna Film )
But what is Luna film now, since when has it and where do they "come"? The answer is amazing, and begins with visitors to the website of the loan. Chef is Michael Stejskal, who is conveniently the same supply their Emailadresse@filmladen.at. Stejskal is in fact both major shareholder and director of the film loading and the Luna movie. Stejskal is so personally, the second largest or largest Austrian rental, on par with Constantin Austria, which has indeed the advantage of German box office hit of its former parent Constantin to give film in Austria (the "Family Ties" work in spite of "separation" obviously not best ).
about the history of the Luna film, unfortunately, little is find out. They are available in any event for at least since 1999. This year there is a document of the City of Vienna, which ascribes the Luna film funds for a children's film festival. Otherwise, the story begins, "according to online sources of discoverable only in 2001. At that time, the company's entry According to company -abc last modified. Accordingly, Stejskal with 70% majority shareholder of the GmbH, 30% belong to Susan Anderson. The same percentage ratios take also one of the movie store movie rental. The film has
Luna (probably since 2001) over 40% of the shares of votive cinema. 35% hold an association for the Media Research called "movie store" (which it what you wanted), 23% is owned personally Stejskal, 4% is owned by Anderson and the remaining 6% of two other persons. It also holds Luna film 33% of the shares film network film distribution and media sales . These responsibilities include the sales of DVDs of the movie store. Logically, So another 33% are held by the film loading. But the blockbuster is now: the remaining 33% (1% remain anonymous?) Holds a certain Andreas Thim (!). What we are again at ThimFilm. Thim is also, according to company-abc, acting alone or in film network - although yes Stejskal as the principal owner of film loading and film Luna indirectly holds the majority of film-network.
Oh and another thing: film shop, Luna film and film network have "natural" the same firm (in the Mariahilfer Strasse), almost door to door in the same building (or phone to phone in the same office or the same e-mail addresses).
leaves the question: Who founded Luna film? Stejskal even unlikely, but where he owns the movie store. Also the movie store was not founded by Stejskal itself. He has, however, at some point (probably in the 90s, indications point to 1993) bought big. The same was probably also at Luna film. Via Filmladen he has also purchased the votive and the Admiral Theater. DeFrance also belongs to his little group. Stejskal therefore the driving force behind a new film conglomerate in Austrian hands? The vertical integration in recent years at any rate successfully expanded. And distribution and several cinemas (even if small) Stejskal already holds. Still missing a production company!
