TONDOWSKI FILMS is an internationally recognized production company with a 15-year track record in producing creative documentaries. Our award winning films have screened at festivals worldwide, are distributed in over 30 territories and broadcasted all over the globe. We recognise the value of building networks of international co-production & distribution partners to build new relationships and reach more territories. Our editorial line is to nurture new talent, develop and produce with artistic excellence as well as human values, and commercial potential. We are proposing four projects: a four-part factual entertainment series which is aimed at international streamers, two creative documentaries from diverse female voices, plus a short documentary from a new female director from Poland. HITLER’S MAN IN HOLLYWOOD is a four-part documentary series on how an “enigmatic” Nazi consul deployed by Hitler to LA, Georg Gyssling, single-handedly eradicated all anti-Nazi sentiment from Hollywood and censored over 70 films, halted productions and barred Jewish characters in studio films. FORBIDDEN DANCE - Against a backdrop of the Middle Eastern conflict, an Israeli choreographer and three Syrian refugee dancers try to overcome hate and prejudice with their 10-year dance collaboration in Berlin. Through performing a new dance piece they tell a story of building a new life, at the same time reliving trauma. PLATO’S CAVE tells a story that is hard to believe at first: Monica Macias is the daughter of two dictators. As a child she was sent from Africa to North Korea and safeguarded by Kim Il Sung. Back home in Equatorial Guinea, her biological father, President Francisco Macias, was executed in the wake of a coup. The film challenges the Western perception of these events. As with every SEX CLUB (short) it's a clothes-on space where people from different walks of life, gender or belief look into their sexuality via spoken inquiry and and embodied exploration.
