Oxus Films

Award-winning Canadian based film production company, specializing in international-based documentaries since 2003; also expanding to drama film and photography services Oxus Films was created out of a passion for sharing ideas across cultural boundaries, making what may initially appear foreign a bit more familiar. Through wonderful human stories we may recognize that the seemingly different people in the films are just ourselves, but in different circumstances. Oxus Films produces independent films but also offers writing, filming, editing and photography services for projects with partners in government, NGO and commercial sectors. It's remarkable that despite its rich history, stunning landscapes and beautiful peoples, very little is known about Central Asia outside the region. That's a pity, because it is layered with so many cultural and historical layers: from Genghis Khan, to the brilliance contributions of cities such as Samarkand and Bukhara, to the Soviet Empire, and now their independence and own paths. Called the Silk Road, the region is the in-between between the East and West, capturing a rich tapestry of both worlds.
