ABOUT US
Potemkino is a Belgian production company with an international reputation for its expertise in combining high quality fiction, innovative formats and international financing. From its collaboration with legendary filmmakers such as Peter Greenaway (Eisenstein in Guanajuato), Terence Davies (A Quiet Passion starring Cynthia Nixon) and Bille August (55 Steps starring Helena Bonham Carter and Hilary Swank), to producing the Scandic-Crime series Cold Courage (for Nent & Lionsgate), the prestigious sci-fi movie Iron Sky 2, the renowned horror feature Cub and the Emmy-nominated participative TV Series The Spiral (a European 6 country co-production, simultaneously broadcast), Potemkino has become one of Europe’s cutting edge production companies. Its output includes highly diverse projects – where high quality and ambition is the common denominator – frequently collaborating with new, local talent and launching them internationally. This international profile is combined with a strong focus on innovation and keeping up with new trends. To give an example, we’re currently working on two VR projects and one tablet game.
