Film production in Cologne.
Documentary-led film with cinema discipline and multilingual delivery — produced on location and finished in our own edit room.
Documentary film house. Real proof. One team.
ALN is a documentary film house based in Poznań. Our films have reached over 20 million views, aired on TVP and EWTN, and played a 12-screening theatrical tour across 8 cities. We handle strategy, cinematography, and the web home the film lives on — all under one editorial roof. That full team travels to Cologne for every project.

What you get.
the main film
Documentary feature or short
A finished documentary built around a real story — research, interviews, observational filming, archive, and a graded master ready for screening, broadcast, or your own platform.
PL · DE · EN
Multilingual master + cutdowns
The film delivered with separate language stems and short cutdowns for press, partners, and social — the language plan locked before the shoot, never bolted on afterward.
perpetual
Library-grade archive
Raw interviews, ProRes masters, transcripts, and a clear naming convention handed over so the material outlives the campaign and stays usable for years.
The same production process, everywhere.
- 01
Brief
A structured brief defines audience, scope, language plan, and the one decision the film must move — most of it resolved before we travel.
- 02
Plan
Schedule, crew, access, and the travel block are locked together, so the days on the ground are spent shooting, not improvising.
- 03
Shoot
A lean crew, controlled light, and clean sound — with production notes that keep the edit fast once we are back in the room.
- 04
Deliver
Review links, masters, cutdowns, captions, and an archive handoff — delivered on a shared drive with a naming convention you own and can reuse.
Poznań-based. We travel to you.
We are Poznań-based and travel to Cologne for every project. Cologne anchors the Rhine-Ruhr region — a long but rewarding run west from Poznań. Because so much of German media, broadcast, and corporate life clusters here and in nearby Düsseldorf, a single planned trip can serve briefs across the whole conurbation.

01Could one trip cover both Cologne and Düsseldorf?
Yes — they are close enough that we routinely plan a Rhine-Ruhr trip to take in both. When the travel is already committed, adding the second city is mostly a scheduling question, and it lets a multi-site brief come back as one cohesive set of deliverables.
02How long does a documentary film take from brief to delivery?
It depends on scope, but a focused documentary typically runs eight to sixteen weeks: brief and research, a planned shoot block, then edit with two structured feedback rounds. Multi-location or archive-heavy films take longer; we set a realistic lock date in pre-production and hold it.
03Who owns the footage and the final film?
You do. On delivery you receive the masters, the cutdowns, and the archive files outright, with a naming convention you can reuse. We keep a backup for safety, but the work and its rights are yours — there is no licensing trap.
