Mischief Films is a Vienna-based independent production company, founded by producer Ralph Wieser and award-winning director Georg Misch in 2002. It is our mission to tackle socially significant stories and carefully turn them into memorable documentaries. Focusing on collaborations with innovative auteurs, we also encourage directors to develop their own distinctive style and support their creative approaches from unique angles. Ambitious to reach a wide and heterogeneous audience, our films are screened around the world – whether on TV, in cinemas or on renowned festivals. With our TV-Series Wastecooking and the accompanying web platform for ARTE we are exploring another audio-visual format.
Many of our films are international co-productions with Arte, ORF, WDR, SWR, BBC and Channel 4 as well as the US-American film fund ITVS.
Our films have won prestigious awards such as the Vienna Film Award, Hot Docs Toronto- Special Price for international feature or Jury regard neuf - Visions
