From the most prolific and successful female producer in Germany, EROTIC TALES is a series of short films, each a half hour in length. Shot in 35mm, each story is conceived and filmed by a different director of international origin. The first six short features debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May of 1994. Since that debut, the series of short features have also been successfully programmed at over 150 film festivals around the world. The TV ratings for the first 12 EROTIC TALES presented at prime time on ARD/First German Television from January to March of 1996 outdistanced all other programming on German television. Viewers for the three-month series averaged a robust 2.35 million.
