Company Website
Amsterdam-based DOXY FIXY strives to be a leading film production company: DOXY adds its long documentary experience to FIXY, grounded fiction, rooted in reality. FIXY in turn inspires DOXY. And, out of love, we have broadened our playing field with sports, with titles like Crystal Film-winner Louis and Becoming Zlatan. Together with directors, screenwriters and many others, we want to connect, inspire, inform and entertain. With a deep awareness of working together towards a result, being part of something bigger than yourself. And we like to push boundaries; we feel at home where styles, people and genres mix. That’s where magic happens. That’s what we call the X in film.
CURRENT PROJECTS
Anemone
Director: Sarah Veltmeyer. Screenwriter: Sarah Veltmeyer & Tom Bakker. Cast: Andi Bajgora, Florist Bajgora. Country: NL. Status: in development. Sort: feature. Duration: 90 min. Genre: drama, debut film.
Andi, a Kosovar man in his early twenties travels to the Dutch Westland to find his lost older brother Florist, a documentless migrant worker in the flower industry. As he wanders through the land of glass he goes back in time to their farewell in Kosovo ten years earlier (Kiem Holijanda*) and their last and only reunion one year before, during a short holiday together in the Westland. While zooming in on the loving, but complicated relationship of the brothers and their responsibility towards each other, the film shows the lonely and poor fate of many migrant workers all over the world.

The Inconvenience of Being Right
Director: Joris Postema. Screenwriter: Joris Postema. Country: NL/BE/GER. Co-producer: Menuetto (BE), KRO-NCRV (NL). Status: in production. Sort: documentary. Duration: 90min. & 55 min. Distribution/Sales: September Film, First Hand Films.
Filmmaker Joris Postema believes that climate change exists, that it is man- made and that, to keep the world livable, we must radically change. Why has this not been possible for decades, especially since it is so obviously necessary? Through portraits of three leading climate activists, the filmmaker explores why nothing is changing despite decades of of protests, conferences, warnings and activism. Is the answer hiding within ourselves? As human beings, we are terrified of change. His reflections in the film make us look at the main characters in a different way. They are no longer fighting against water cannons or a police cordon, they are fighting against human nature, our fear of change and loss. If we understand that we’re a part of the problem, can we be a part of the solution?
