Age of Cannibals (German: Zeit der Kannibalen) is a 2014 German drama film directed by Johannes Naber, starring Devid Striesow, Katharina Schüttler and Sebastian Blomberg. It tells the story of two business consultants who travel to impoverished and corrupt countries where they make shady business deals, never having to leave their hotels. The film is made like a chamber play with stylised and grotesque acting. Principal photography took place from 8 January to 14 February 2013.[1]

The premiere took place at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival, where the film played in the section Perspektive Deutsches Kino.[2] At the German Film Awards 2015 it received the third-place prize in the category Best Feature Film and the prize for Best Screenplay.[3] It was also nominated for Best Direction.[4]
