Anima was originally conceived in 2021 with documentary A SPACE IN TIME, a co-production with Salon Pictures directed by Riccardo Servini and Nick Taussig to raise awareness of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The film was BFI backed, theatrically released, and nominated for “Best Single Documentary” at the prestigious Grierson British Documentary Awards 2022.

In 2024, we officially launched as Anima Entertainment focusing on a wide range of stories for global audiences with a keen interest in intimate, sensitive and insightful work raising awareness around disability, mental health, promoting social change, how culture connects us, the human condition and immersive projects that help make abstract situations more accessible. We want to give filmmakers with a diverse worldview the platforms to tell their stories cinematically while empowering them to be experimental but still reach a wider audience. 

We are currently in post-production on documentary ‘Dwarf Story’ (2024) which we co-produced with Embankment Films. A project giving a voice to the dwarfism community to talk about the repercussions of certain treatments on the rise for children with achondroplasia and how societies views on Dwarfism have been influenced by the media.  

More projects to be announced in 2024
