Antimae Film GbR - Germany

Antimae Film GbR is a film production company based in Münster. Steffi Köhler (producer) and Marc Pierschel (writer & director) have set themselves the goal of producing authentic films that inspire, move, and empower. Their fictional and non-fictional stories engage with discourses on social changes, marginalisation, and the visibility of individuals. This also involves critically questioning the filmmaking process. In 2023, Köhler and Pierschel received a scholarship from the Mediengründerzentrum NRW. Matilda is their debut feature film; they are in the financing phase, and production is set to start in May 2025 in Germany.
