When the Great Mongolian army is about to invade Europe in 1242 it doesn’t expect that a Hungarian castle and its Priest, Eusebius will stop it.

After the Hungarian army is destroyed by the Mongol Invasion, Hungary’s fortified city of Esztergom becomes the final barrier between the forces of Genghis Kahn’s son and the heart of Europe. Inside the walls, survival depends not only on swords but on a fragile triangle of power between the Mongol command, the embattled Hungarian king, and a Vatican cardinal.

“With a budget north of $10 million and a cast spanning Hollywood to Ulaanbaatar, 1242 is Hungary’s most ambitious historical film to date.” – The Budapest Reporter.

At the center stands Eusebius, a pacifist and visionary canon, forced into uneasy alliance with Captain Simon, a battle-hardened mercenary. As siege, hunger, and doubt tighten their grip, diplomacy, faith, and betrayal collide with Mongol ritual and prophecy. What unfolds is not a battle for a fortress, but a psychological confrontation between empire, crown and church.

Stars Ray Stevenson (The Three Musketeers, Kill the Irishman), Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight, Runaway Train), Michael Ironside (Scanners, Total Recall) and Bold Choimbol (Bogd Khaan).

“An epic without a lot of time on the battlefield. Some may find that attractive.” – Tina Kakadelis, The Sound View.

2025 History-War-Drama / 105 mins color / English and Mongolian with English Sub-titles / A Film by Peter Soos.

The Swallows of Kabul is a powerful animated drama adapted from Yasmina Khadra’s acclaimed novel, set in Kabul during the summer of 1998 under Taliban rule.

Young lovers Zunaira and Mohsen dream of a future free from violence, oppression, and religious extremism, while prison guard Atiq struggles to care for his terminally ill wife Mussarat. Following one tragic, impulsive act, the lives of both couples become inextricably linked as they confront injustice, sacrifice, and the struggle to preserve hope in a society stripped of compassion and freedom.

Rendered in stunning watercolor-inspired animation, the film explores the emotional and moral consequences of life under authoritarian rule while emphasizing the resilience of the human spirit.

Directors Zabou Breitman and Éléa Gobbé-Mévellec faithfully adapt Khadra’s celebrated novel into an emotionally resonant feature examining love, dignity, resistance, and survival against overwhelming oppression.

Premiering in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, the film also received recognition at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival and earned nominations for Best Animated Film at both the César Awards and the European Film Awards. Its mature storytelling and painterly visual style have established it as one of the most acclaimed animated literary adaptations of recent years.

“The Swallows of Kabul vividly captures the horror of life under Sharia Law, packing such a visceral punch in its drama that it’s often easy to forget you’re watching a beautiful work of hand drawn animation.” – Alistair Ryder, Film Inquiry.

2019 / 81 minutes / color / French w/English subtitles / A film by Zabou Breitman and Eléa Gobbé-Mévellec.

Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha & Eryk Rocha’s 2024 documentary about Indigenous peoples’ profound connection to nature and the struggle against deforestation, a grave threat to their way of life and the ecosystem they call home.

In collaboration with Brazil’s Indigenous Yanomami people, THE FALLING SKY follows the Yanomami leader and shaman Davi Kopenawa as he fights to return the world to balance in closely observed rituals and trenchant comments on the ruthless logic of a materialistic outside culture. Illegal logging, gold mining, and the deadly mix of epidemics these intrusions spread threaten the existence of the Yanomami.

Based on an acute understanding of geopolitical forces, Davi Kopenawa holds up a mirror to capitalist societies of “the merchandise people” and the unsustainable lifestyle of the so-called “developed countries” that threaten the survival of humanity.

Fresh from theatrical release sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art.

Received a standing ovation at its World Premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.

Winner: DOC NYC 2024 Grand Jury Prize.

“One of the most necessary and scorching pieces of nonfiction storytelling in recent memory.”  — Carlos Aguilar , Variety

“10 out of 10. The Falling Sky fits perfectly in the high ranks of cult documentaries like Koyaanisqatsi and Baraka.” — Michael Talbot-Haynes, Film Threat
