Stories that matter

relativ prominent film was founded in Erfurt in 2025 by Matthias Halibrand and Daniel Haingartner, growing out of more than a decade of working together and a distinctive combination of technical excellence, cinematic vision and interdisciplinary thinking.

Our core focus is the production of ambitious arthouse cinema: from our own fiction, documentary, short and experimental formats to genre projects and high-quality post-production for theatrical films.

As a co-production partner, we draw on an extensive international network. We see ourselves as a small, focused team with an eye for detail and individual solutions.

As a post-production boutique, we develop tailored solutions for small, large and unconventional projects, combining strong creative expertise with technical confidence. To give high-end cinema productions the opportunity to finish their films in a cinema, we collaborate with Kino Hirschlachufer. Its two new auditoriums, currently under construction, are being equipped so that we can also offer half-day grading sessions there. This makes practical use of existing infrastructure and enables us to offer these services on an economically viable basis.

Films we have worked on have screened at numerous national and international festivals and exhibitions, received theatrical releases, and won several awards.

Responsibility is part of production

We work in a resource-conscious way and favour public transport. A respectful, collaborative approach is not an optional extra for us — it is the foundation of how we work together.
