Co-founded by Ade and Jakowski in 1999, Komplizen produced Ade's films as a director, starting with her 2003 debut The Forest for the Trees, and later the Oscar-nominated Toni Erdmann. But the company has truly come into its own as an international co-producer, backing such projects as Cannes winner About Dry Grasses, Oscar-winner A Fantastic Woman, the Angelina Jolie-starrer Maria, and Joachim Trier's Golden Globe-nominated Sentimental Value. The company is a co-founder member of The Creatives, a federation of 10 independent production companies set up to facilitate the development and co-production of independent arthouse films and series. Dornbach, who joined Komplizen Film in 2010, has been a driving force in the company's international co-production operation. Ade, Dornbach and Jackowski will receive the honor in person at the European Film Awards ceremony in Berlin on January 17, 2026. Komplizen's co-pro Sentimental Value is a front-runner at the awards, with five nominations, including for best European film.
