Welcome to ZIPO FILM production

Zika

Association ZIPO film was established at the very end of the last century as a company that was supposed to accomplish a semi-finished film from a freelance production, the rights to which we purchased. If I'd known the chain reaction of events that ZIPO film has invoked, I would probably have chosen a more comfortable way of life as simply a kooky photographer. But I have no regrets today. On the contrary, I am proud of what we and a bunch of devotees have accomplished, and how much all of our efforts and energy has produced.

Gradually, all of our activities were transferred to a newly established company ZIPO FILM production. The reason was simple. My wife Stanislava Ziková, Head of Production and Executive Producer for all of my movies, became a co-owner. Together, we have embarked on a new journey with a new company towards new projects, but with the original company spirit, experience and and principles of former ZIPO film.

Today's ZIPO film is no longer only my concern. It involves artists from many fields and has exceeded all my expectations. It's living its own life as a union of the word "FILM" lovers in all it's meanings, as a symbolism of a visuall expression of one's self and use in the today's period of numbers and codes and digital effects. signatureWe like to play, we like to invent, we like to do what we enjoy and finally the phrase "association" has assumed for us a deeper meaning.
