We study the market, discover new talents and projects, and help others to do the same.

our history

Will you come with us to Armenia?

It was with this phrase that the future producer Victoria Lupik and the novice film director Maria Saakyan – the founders of Anniko Films – began their friendship and collaboration. In 2002, they went off to shoot their first joint project. Seven years later, in 2009, they founded their film studio.
