Valk Productions

Valk Productions was founded in 1999 by director and producer Richard Valk. Valk Productions produces short artistic animation projects, like It’s Nice in Here (Semaine de la Critique Cannes 2022 and shortlist Oscars 2022) by Robert-Jonathan Koeyers, documentaries like Douwe Dijkstra’s Neighbour Abdi (Locarno Film Festival won Pardino d’oro SRG SSR for the Best International Short Film 2022) and VR projects like Adriaan Lokman’s Flow VR, Februar and Miracle Basket (Venice Immersive 2022). An important resemblance in all productions can be found in the fact that they are independent, artistic films and VR projects, such as the collaborations with Maarten Isaak de Heer, Daphna Awadish, Hisko Hulsing, Juliana Erazo, Arjan Brentjes, Abner Preis, Daan Lucas, Suzie Templeton and lots of projects with Rosto (till 7th of March 2019 R.I.P. 🖤), but also with makers abroad such as South African Naomi van Niekerk and French Cristobal de Oliveira. In addition Valk productions makes many of its projects together with foreign co-producers like Autour de Minuit, Ikki films and Sacreblue - French, The Hives - Israël and Vivi Film - Belgium. This artistic level is how Valk Productions likes to profile itself. The focus of the company is to collaborate with creative makers who come up with innovative, original or daring ideas and to tell moving stories from all over the world.
