TEAM'S PICKS: INTRODUCING FRANKA

Hello, my name is Franka, and I'm delighted to share a few productions from our portfolio that have particularly stood out to me for this edition of Team's Picks.

 

As Sales Manager for VOD & Home Entertainment, one of the most rewarding parts of my day-to-day work is exploring our wide-ranging catalogue to identify the perfect titles for my clients' specific needs and preferences.

 

This time, though, I've taken a more personal approach, one that takes me back to my early days in the industry, when I worked as a programmer at an international short film festival. With so many fantastic and diverse productions to choose from, selecting just one title from each genre was still not an easy task.

 

I hope you enjoy my selection:

The Raven's Tale – Mystic Czechia

The Czech Republic is an enchanting country that never fails to captivate me, and this film offers a fascinating way to explore it. Its mystical landscapes and glimpses into the lives of ravens, wolves, bears, and other wildlife are beautifully captured, and the fairy-tale-like narrative style makes it especially distinctive.

The Imperial Crown – Myth, Mystery and Majesty

I find it fascinating when history becomes tangible through an object, and this documentary achieves exactly that. Scientists from across Europe investigate the mysterious origins of the Reichskrone. Their dedicated work unveils a journey through 1,000 years of European history and evolving cultural practices.

My Alaskan Journey

What drew me to this documentary is the sense of discovery at the heart of Erin Ranney’s journey. Following family stories and her own memories, the wildlife camerawoman ventures into Alaska’s lesser-known coastal wilderness. It is an intimate, adventurous, and visually stunning encounter with this wild and ever-changing landscape.

2HOT2DRIVE

What I especially enjoy about this mini-series is how it turns a driving school car into the perfect setting for wonderfully awkward encounters. Improvised dialogue and absurd twists make it funny, daring, and occasionally cringe-worthy in the best way. Its fantastic cast makes every unique character feel refreshingly real. Perfect for a binge-watching session! 

Above the World

This touching, slow-paced film follows a man seeking lifelong refuge from his family's expectations in a secluded mountain hut. The atmospheric images of the Tyrolean mountains resonated deeply with me, having grown up in a similar landscape. Based on a true story, the film delivers a cinematic delight with outstanding performances.

Bilderbuch

A portrait of one of Austria's most exciting bands, known for songs that are catchy yet unsettling in their absurdity. This captivating music documentary holds special meaning for me, as I attended one of the legendary Schönbrunn Palace concerts featured in the film, bringing those memories vividly back to life.

I hope these personal favorites inspire you to discover something new in our portfolio.

With best regards,
