Filmbrigade

FilmBrigade is a Prague production company which concentrates on quality mainstream film and television projects. It is the sister company of Bionaut Films, which has produced feature length films such as Shark in the Head starring Oldřich Kaiser, the comedy Bitter Coffee, or Brats, which was nominated for seven Czech Lion awards in 1992. FilmBrigade was founded by producers Vratislav Šlajer and Petr Bílek, whose aim was to build a strong brand on the domestic audiovisual market that would align itself with artistically compelling projects with broad audience appeal. FilmBrigade has completed shooting a television comedy-drama series „The Airport“, which has successfully ended its run in December 2007 with its 118th episode. Feature film scripts supported by European Union’s Media Programmme and other television projects are in the works at the moment. With an annual turnover of some one hundred million crowns, FilmBrigade ranks among the largest production companies in the Czech Republic in terms of production volume.
