REKA Pictures GmbH is a German independent film production company in the field of Arthouse Film. [1]
History
editThe company was originally a collective consisting of director Eliza Petkova and producer Konstantin Kann. [2] It was founded in 2018 while shooting their joint short feature film Die Anderen (The Others), which premiered at the 52nd Hof International Film Festival. [3]
REKA Pictures was created to enable more creative work through both artistic and economic independence. The word REKA stands for the Bulgarian word for “river". The aim therefore is to produce films that are still in motion and do not linger in the prefabricated templates of filmmaking and the idea of today's GmbH logo, depicting a bird, is based on a scene from the short feature film at the time. [4]
In the spring of 2022, the company was incorporated as a limited liability company (managing director with power of attorney: Konstantin Kann), [5] whose business purpose is predominantly the production and distribution of feature films but also documentaries.
Awards and notable works
editREKA Pictures produced the feature film A Fish Swimming Upside Down (GER, 103 min) by director Eliza Petkova, [6]which premiered in 2020 at the 70th Berlinale in the Perspektive Deutsches Kino section and was sold internationally to many countries. [7]
Among other awards, it won "Best Director" award at Tirana International Film Festival (TIFF) one year later, in 2021. [8]
Eliza Petkova's documentary Mayor, Shepherd, Widow, Dragon (GER/BG, 97 min), funded by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg (MBB) as a “Leuchtstoff,” is a co-production of REKA Pictures in association with Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB) and Wood Water Films and enjoyed its world premiere at the 24th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF) in 2021 and its German premiere at the 43rd Max Ophüls Prize Film Festival (FFMOP) in 2022, where it was awarded the Film Critics' Prize and the title of "Best Documentary Film". [9] Likewise, it received honorable mention in the documentary category at the 18th Achtung Berlin - New Berlin Film Award. [10]
The collaborative short feature Sounds Of Nature (GER, 15 min), [11] which made its world premiere at the 40th Cambridge International Film Festival in late 2021 and its U.S. premiere at the Palm Springs International Film Festival in 2022, is also the result of the former collective's collaboration.
