Angela Poschet has successfully completed her training as a Green Consultant Film and TV with a certificate from the Munich Chamber of Industry and Commerce. She can now “officially” advise film productions that have to or want to prove that their projects are ecologically sustainable. Rixfilm is currently working on a range of services specifically for the animated film sector.
We have joined the SME Climate Hub, a platform for small and medium-sized companies committed to sustainability and climate protection. This includes a voluntary commitment to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

"D", the new short film by Turkish director Dilan Aktay, is about to start shooting. This film is about a little girl who wants to go to school. But poverty, war and destruction make that impossible. The film is being shot in the earthquake zone of the Mardin region. The project is supported by the Alumni Fund of the Tarabya Cultural Academy, producer is Tuncay Kulaoglu. Rixfilm has consulted during the screen wirting process and is in charge of post-production.
The journey of the “Second of the World” continues. At the weekend our short film was screened at the Pigeon International Film Festival high in the north in Ísafjarðarbíó, Iceland. And this week we're off to Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo for the Festival International de Cinéma. This means that the only continent missing is Oceania.
During this year's ANIMARKT Stop Motion Forum, Angela Poschet held a three-day masters workshop on line production in stop motion. ANIMARKT is a unique conference and meeting place for stop motion professionals from around the world. It takes place every year in October in Lodz, Poland.
We were invited to speak at the wonderful SaqAnima conference in Tbilisi. Small but powerful, this year's conference was mainly dedicated to the topic of stop motion. Thanks to Mariam Kandelaki and her small but energetic team! SaqAnima is the relatively young Georgian Animation Film Association, which does a lot to ensure that Georgian animated film, but also the services of the local studios are better perceived in Europe and around the world.
"A Second of the World" is traveling around the world. Our short film has already been shown in Nigeria, Indonesia, India and the USA. The film also won a Special Mention for Best International Short Film and the Best Concept Award at the Sittanvasal International Film Festival.
What a weekend! Three awards for our short film "A Second of the World" (Director: Anja Struck): Best Film in the German Competition at the Niederrhein Film Festival in Wesel and at the Harzmovienale in Quedlinburg, both the jury award and the audience award for the best film in the professional films section. Thanks to the juries, the audience, the festival organizers and of course the whole team.
The "Second" is now also available in an English language version. As with the German version, Torben Liebrecht, who is internationally known for his appearances in "Altered Carbon" and "Operation Finale", lent his great voice to the film.
