The story

The Videorama GmbH, along with the "Videorama" brand name, was acquired by the Silwa Filmvertrieb AG group in 1983. The goal was to further strengthen film distribution, particularly in the sex and erotic genres. The films are offered on DVD, CD-ROM, and VHS. Videorama is one of the leading providers in Europe. Director Harry S. Morgan, winner of multiple Venus Awards, released several film series under Videorama. Morgan's Happy Video Privat series is the longest-running pornographic film series in Germany and Europe. A film was released every two to three months from 1984 to 2011.

In 2011, The Beate Uhse made a takeover offer for Videorama worth €50 million plus a stake, but the company rejected the offer. In 2016, the company filed for insolvency.
