Taskovski Films
London-based international sales agent specialising in documentary and arthouse films from Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet states.
Overview
Taskovski Films is a London-based international sales agent founded in 2008. The company specialises in documentary and arthouse films from Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet states, and Central Asia -- a geographic and cultural territory underrepresented in mainstream European sales. Taskovski's niche focus gives it a depth of regional knowledge and filmmaker relationships that generalist European sales agents cannot match in this specific territory.
The company represents films from countries including Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and other post-Soviet republics alongside Central and Eastern European productions from Poland, Romania, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and the Balkans. This combination of former Soviet and Eastern European coverage provides unique breadth across a region with a rich filmmaking tradition and growing international festival presence.
Post-Soviet and Central Asian Cinema
Post-Soviet and Central Asian cinema has gained increasing international recognition in recent decades, with filmmakers from Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine achieving major festival selections at Cannes, Venice, and Berlin. Taskovski Films' specialisation in this region positions it to represent emerging and established voices from territories where most sales agents have limited relationships.
For filmmakers from post-Soviet and Central Asian territories seeking international distribution, Taskovski provides representation with genuine regional expertise -- understanding the cultural, political, and production contexts that shape this cinema in ways that a Paris or Berlin-based generalist agent cannot.
What Filmmakers Should Know
Taskovski is the most relevant specialist contact for filmmakers from post-Soviet and Central Asian territories seeking international sales representation. The company acquires at major festivals alongside regional events including Tbilisi International Film Festival, Almaty International Film Festival, and others specific to the territories it covers.
For filmmakers outside this geographic range, Taskovski is most relevant as a reference point for understanding how specialised regional sales agents serve areas that generalist companies underserve.
