Athanor, Film Production Company,Ltd.

ATHANOR – Film production company was founded with the idea of producing independent and non-commercial works. Since 1992, ATHANOR has produced or co-produced especially Jan Švankmajer's films and exhibitions, but the company is also open to other filmmakers. The company's studios are located in Knovíz (a village 25 km northwest of Prague). The studios have their own technical equipment, ensuring that they are self-sufficient except for laboratories and film sound systems. This is one of the factors that guarantees its independence.
