Franz Böhm Director

About me

Following my work as assistant director and production assistant in Germany and the UK, I directed several short films of my own with a focus on social and political issues. My Hot Docs Audience Award winning debut feature film Dear Future Children had theatrical releases nationwide in the UK, Germany, Canada, Austria, Switzerland and Sweden and was released on Netflix DACH in October 2022. The film was particularly successful with audiences, winning over a dozen awards and being seen by over 100.000 people in cinemas worldwide, including 40.000 in Germany alone. In 2024 I graduated with an MA in Directing Fiction from the National Film and Television School (NFTS) in London.

What I do

Currently I am preparing an upcoming fictional feature film project, supported by the German Federal Film Board, MFG Film Fund Baden-Württemberg, the Austrian Film Institute (ÖFI) and the Vienna Film Fund (FFW). It is co-produced by the broadcasters ARTE and SWR and developed in collaboration with ACE Producers and FOCAL Production Value.
