Mirage Film

Budapest-based MIRAGE FILM is led by producer ANDREA TASCHLER since it was launched in 2010. The company produces feature, short and documentary projects to the highest standard, whilst creating a supportive and inspiring environment for filmmakers. By selecting the projects with extreme care, and working in close cooperation with the directors and the scriptwriters, we operate more as a creative workshop than a run-of-the-mill production company.
 
In 2018 the Moroccan director YASSINE MARCO MARROCCU joined the company and brought a new field of interest to the originally Eastern-European focus. We are keen to create a stronger bond between Hungary and the African countries and to work with emerging talents from the MENA region. Most importantly to find suitable content for both domestic and international audiences.
 
The company’s first feature project, the contemporary western MIRAGE by director Szabolcs Hajdu had the world premiere at Toronto IFF in 2014. In the same year, our short film PROVINCIA by director György Mór Kárpáti was in the official Cinéfondation selection in Cannes. Our recent releases are the 2nd feature film of director Árpád Bogdán, GENESIS, the film had the international premiere in Berlinale 2018, and the debut film of Bálint Kenyeres, HIER is a co-production of Hungary France-Germany-The Netherlands–Sweden-Morocco, the film had the international premiere in Locarno 2018.
 
Our most recent release is the Moroccan feature film CATHARSYS OR THE AFINA TALES OF THE LOST WORLD, by director Yassine Marco Marroccu. The world premiere was at Tallinn Black Nights in 2018, it won the awards of Best Debut, Best Script, Best Cinematography, and Best Music at the National Film Festival Tangier, which is the annual competition of Moroccan films.
 
We are currently working on the first official co-production between Hungary and Morocco (SCIROCCO) and developing several projects within the frames of our new production schema. We are looking for filmmakers who possess original and distinctive or even radical cinematic vision. We want to produce cutting-edge, valiant, and innovative projects, which have the power to strengthen the diversity of cinema.

With loving memory of Mirage Film founders
