!!!Sascha-Film

Sascha-Film, founded in 1910 by Count A.  Kolowrat-Krakowsky; in 1916 
Sascha-Film merged with O. Messter. The studio produced weekly news 
reels reporting on World War I and established a studio in 
Vienna-Sievering. In the 1920s Sascha-Film made monumental silent 
films, including "Sodom und Gomorrha" (1922) and "Die 
Sklavenkoenigin" ("The Slave Queen") (1924). After 
Kolowrat-Krakowksy´s death in 1927 and a period fraught with 
problems, the studio in Sievering was remade into a studio for talking 
films in 1932 and in 1933 the studios on the Rosenhuegel hill were 
added. In 1934 Tobis-Tonbild-Syndikat (Berlin) bought an interest in 
Sascha-Film. The studio´s last great hit was 
"Maskerade" (1934). In 1938 Sascha-Film was transformed into 
 Wien-Film.
