The company co-created less than a year ago by Jesper Jack (pictured) is going to open a Malmö-based office run by Anna J. Ljungmark on April 1st to develop co-productions with Sweden, and has hired the former Head of Digital Productions at SMK (National Gallery of Denmark) as their Creative Producer and Strategist, in charge of digital productions and creative collaboration with cultural institutions and museums.

“There are many reasons for our expansion,” says Jack. Today 50% of our revenues stem from broadcasters, but those funds are getting tighter and tighter each year, and we live in a cultural environment where we can’t depend on state support for the remaining 50% of the financing. Besides the financial aspect, there is a rising demand for moving images from various cultural and educational sectors as well as from audiences, hungry for different cross media experiences. Therefore we want to use all the values in non-fiction storytelling, produce meaningful and artistic films and combine that with new financing models.”

Projects exploring different formats and release strategies include by US anthropologist David Borenstein. The documentary charting the rise and fall of the Chinese property market was filmed with six remixes to target different audiences on different media. The project was backed by the Sundance Institute, WDR/ARTE, Al Jazeera English, DR, SVT, VPRO, CBC, DFI, and the New York Times. Films Transit handles world sales.

by Jonas Poher Rasmussen, a hybrid documentary about an author who murdered his gay companion in a jealousy fit was first produced as a theatre play before reaching the screens. The Danish film won the FIPRESCI Award at Thessaloniki and has been selected for Hot Docs’ Artscapes section.

Other productions include the transmedia project by Marie Skovgaard launched at the last Tempo Documentary Festival and the Norwegian co-production by Håvard Bustnes about the rise of the right wing movement in Greece.
