A new animation studio was launched during this year's Industry Days at the Fantoche animation film festival in Baden: ASAKO FILM - initiated and founded by Anja Kofmel with the support of Sereina Gabathuler The studio aims to strengthen the German-Swiss animation scene and form a counterpart to Nicolas Burlet's Nadasdy animation studio in Geneva. Nicolas Burlet warmly welcomes this project and will help to establish ASKAO Film through strategic cooperation.

Dschoint Ventschr also sees itself as a strategic partner of ASAKO and will implement future animation projects in the new animation studio where appropriate.

Currently, Dschoint Ventschr and Nadasdy are already working on two animation series which will be executed in the studios of ASAKO and Nadasdy. Also the new animation project of Anja Kofmel "Frozen Soil", which Sereina Gabathuler is producing for Dschoint Ventschr, will be realised in the new studio.

Dschoint Ventschr supports the project of Anja Kofmel and Sereina Gabathuler and is looking forward to the future cooperation.

Following the recent VOD release, Anja Kofmel’s award-winning anima-doc is now available on DVD.
The DVD can be ordered through our office at a price of CHF 25.90 (plus shipping).
