The Arri Group is the largest world wide supplier of motion picture film equipment.
Arri was founded in Munich, Germany as Arnold & Richter Cine Technik in 1917, named after founders August Arnold and Robert Richter. They produce professional motion picture equipment, movie cameras and cinematic lighting equipment.Hermann Simon mentioned this company in his book Hidden Champions of the 21st Century as an example of a "Hidden Champion".
In 1924 Arnold and Richter developed their first film camera, the small and portable Kinarri 35. In 1937 Arri introduced the world's first reflex mirror shutter in the Arriflex 35 camera, an invention of their longtime engineer Erich Kästner. This technology employs a rotating mirror that allows a continuous motor to operate the camera while providing parallax-free reflex viewing to the operator, and the ability to focus the image by eye through the viewfinder, much like an SLR camera for still photography. This technology is still employed today in almost every motion picture camera. The first Hollywood film to employ an Arriflex was in 1947 for Dark Passage, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Over the years, more than 17,000 Arriflex 35s were built.
