About

A film company dedicated to crafting arthouse films and documentaries that delve into the raw and unfiltered aspects of life. Founded by Victor Nieuwenhuijs and Maartje Seyferth, industry veterans with over 40 years of combined experience, Moskitofilm is renowned for creating and producing a wide range of cinematic gems.

"At Moskitofilm, we embrace the pure and dark facets of human existence, fearlessly exploring themes that challenge and provoke. Our films are not merely stories; they are immersive experiences that invite audiences to confront the complexities of the human condition."

From feature films such as the surreal drama of 'Cat and Mouse' (2015-2017), where a young girl uncovers painful family secrets, to the absurdist noir of 'Meat' (2010), which delves into the perverse fantasies of a troubled butcher.
Among their standout works, is the feature film 'Crepuscule' (2009), follows the journey of a timid young woman in the city, revealing her inner transformation amidst urban landscapes.

In the last 30 years, they have made a wide range of short films, documentaries, and co-productions. Examples include 'Armando,' a sensitive and poetic documentary, and their co-production of the Chinese feature film 'Frozen,' directed by Wang Xiaoshuai.

"As filmmakers, we thrive on challenging norms and shedding light on the unconventional."
