The Heritage of Leni Riefenstahl

Since acquiring exclusive commercial rights to the estate of LENI RIEFENSTAHL, we have been working to make her works accessible to the public in a fresh context.

Leni Riefenstahl is one of the most controversial figures of the last century. Celebrated for her cinematic innovations, revered for her evocative imagery, feared for her iron will, and punished for her naive opportunism, she put her talent at the service of the Nazis and was ostracized for life after the war. Although she always fought for her legal innocence in numerous trials, she nevertheless paid for her unacknowledged guilt with her most valuable asset: her career.
