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 toured 12 cities in a national theatrical run. We handle strategy, cinematography, and the web home the film lives on — all under one editorial roof. That full team travels to Wuppertal 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.

§ V / VII

The same production process, everywhere.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    Plan

    Schedule, crew, access, and the travel block are locked together, so the days on the ground are spent shooting, not improvising.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

§ VI / VII

Poznań-based. We travel to you.

We are Poznań-based and travel to Wuppertal for every project. Wuppertal, home of the Schwebebahn suspended railway, is roughly 640 km from Poznań — a natural add-on to any Cologne–Düsseldorf trip given the cities' proximity. Its mix of Gründerzeit architecture, the Von der Heydt Museum, and industrial heritage makes for visually distinctive material.

§ VII / VII
§ VII / VII
01Is the Schwebebahn practically filmable for a commercial or documentary piece?

Yes, with the right permissions from WSW (Wuppertaler Stadtwerke). The suspended railway is a striking visual and has been used in film shoots before. We coordinate the access request and plan camera angles that respect passenger operations — the result is a backdrop that immediately signals Wuppertal without staging anything artificial.

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.
