Sabina Films – Portugal 

Sabina Films was founded in 2022 by Liliana Lasprilla, to produce projects with an  elevated cinematic approach and a humanist and socially committed vision, working closely with new filmmakers. The company is currently in post-production for Vanessa Rodrigues’s The Spell Of Sand, in co-production with Real Ficção, and in production for the pilot of Samba de guerrilha, a documentary-animated series by Luca Argel—both projects supported by ICA-Portuguese Cinema Institute. We Are Stardust by Martha Appelt is the most recent project in development and Sabina Films is actively seeking other fiction or documentary projects with new national and international talents and partners.
