Babelsberg Turns 100

After surviving Nazis, Communists and near-bankruptcy, the famed German film studio that has hosted everyone from Fritz Lang to Quentin Tarantino hits the century mark on a high note.

On Feb. 12, German Studio Babelsberg will mark its 100th anniversary, making the backlot outside Berlin the world's oldest operating film studio. It can pop the champagne before 2012's fellow studio centenarians Universal (April 30) and Paramount (May 8).
