Rakia Films is an independant production company for film and video contents. After miles of frames filmed and paths taken in different educational and profesional stages, this new project is born. Under this name, we pretend to keep on sharing out the art, the stories and the moments.
We are a great number of persons, from producers to collaborators, all sharing one thing in common: the passion for what we are doing and the care for doing it right. In the first raw, when the sail is hoisted, Bernabé Bulnes, Dina Harovic and Enrique Guzmán.
And why Rakia Films? What Rakia means? According to Wikipedia, Rakia or rakija, is a type of liquor similiar to the brany, obtained by distillation of fermented fruits, traditional in the region of the Balkans and very popularized in countries like Italy, France or Germany. For us, it is a perfect drink to toast for the cinema and life, a unique concoction to start and finish any project. We want our projects to be pure DISTILLED CINEMA.
A little sip of good cinema, at times it can be a lot. Rakian quote.
