#WeStandWithUkraine
(27/5/2022)
A different take on tradition. As every year, Akkord Film recently held its annual Oscar betting game, where the staff members bet on who wins the Academy Awards. This time however, for every Euro invested, the company donated ten Euros to the initiative „Support Filmmakers Ukraine“, rounding it up to a four-digit amount.
The initiative intends to help Ukrainian filmmakers who risk their lives under extreme conditions filming independent footage of the war. Involved are the Deutsche Filmakademie, Produzentenallianz, Crew United and many more. The donations are invested in protective wear and film equipment which are urgently needed for working in the warzone.

“Small sensation” at German box office & a festival nomination for RABBIT ACADEMY
(8/4/2022)
After only three weeks in cinemas, RABBIT ACADEMY has sold 260,000 box office tickets in Germany speaking countries. Germany’s trade magazine, Blickpunkt:Film, calls it “a small sensation for Akkord Film’s animation success”, given that our film just tripled(!) its previous week’s results with 75,000 admissions last weekend. And Easter has yet to come!
Our rabbits have also convinced one of Germany’s most important children’s film festival. From May 29th to June 4th, 2022 RABBIT ACADEMY will be in competition at Goldener Spatz. We are super very proud of our rabbits and excited to see where the journey will take us!
