Taschler
Andrea Taschler is a Hungarian film producer who has dedicated more than two decades to international auteur cinema. Throughout her career, she has built long-term creative collaborations with filmmakers distinguished by original cinematic voices, producing films that have travelled to major international festivals.
After working for a decade with leading talents of Hungarian cinema and gaining extensive experience on international productions, Andrea founded Mirage Film in 2010. Focusing on auteur-driven fiction and international co-production, her work is less defined by commercial trends than by a humanistic approach to stories exploring the complexities of life.
Since 2019, Andrea has expanded her work to North Africa in collaboration with Casablanca-based Eclipse Films, developing projects and cultural exchange programs between Eastern Europe and North Africa. She is a graduate of the EAVE Producers Workshop and a member of the European Film Academy. She works between Budapest and Casablanca.

Based in Casablanca, where he founded Eclipse Films, Yassine has developed and produced numerous projects while contributing to the training of young film professionals. His work has taken him across North Africa and Europe, including participation in humanitarian projects in refugee camps in Greece, Macedonia and Serbia.
His early short films include Entropya, which received the Grand Prize at the Festival du Cinéma Maghrébin in Algiers, among other awards. His first feature film, Catharsys or The Afina Tales of the Lost World (2018), premiered at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival and subsequently received several awards in Morocco and internationally. His second feature, Alkebulan, is set in the Sahara in 1961 and continues his interest in stories shaped by cultural encounters, history and the landscapes of Africa.
