Polish director Agnieszka Holland has revealed details about her next feature film project, a biographical film about Marlene Dietrich, “Berlinweh – Yearning for a Home.” World sales are handled by Films Boutique.

Holland was Oscar nominated for “Europa Europa” (1990), and also directed Oscar-nominated films “In Darkness” (2011) and “Angry Harvest” (1985).

“Berlinweh” is being produced by the same team that backed Holland’s “Franz,” Berlin-based production company X Filme Creative Pool, the Czech company Marlene Film Production and British-Irish producer Mike Downey. It is based on a screenplay by Ingo Rasper.
