What moloko film does

moloko film is a Prague-based independent film production company founded in 2010 by producers Miloš Lochman and Karel Chvojka. The company develops, produces, and co-produces feature films, documentaries, short films, and experimental works, with a stated emphasis on projects developed from inception alongside directors and screenwriters. Its portfolio spans twelve titles covering drama, coming-of-age, documentary, and essay film, including Nightsiren, Filthy, The Way Out, Imago, La Reine, Time Metallurgist, and Father, with one further title (Three Weeks Under the Sea) in postproduction.

The company's core technology is human-driven film production craft rather than a software platform; the only technical deviation is the experimental use of AI-assisted reconstruction on Time Metallurgist (2024). Output is anchored in a recurring Central European co-production network spanning Czech, Slovak, Polish, French, Dutch, and institutional partners (notably Česká televize, RTVS, Canal+ Polska, BFILM, FAMU, Apple Film Production, Lava Films, Topkapi Films, Cinéma Defacto, and Danae Production), with international sales handled by Intramovies for at least Nightsiren.

Revenue mechanics are project-based and not publicly disclosed: each film is financed through a multi-party co-production stack that combines public broadcaster pre-sales, national film fund subsidies, and international partner contributions. Go-to-market runs through the festival circuit (Cannes, Rotterdam, Toronto, Locarno, Leipzig, Karlovy Vary) for visibility and awards, followed by sales-agent-driven worldwide theatrical and VOD distribution plus regional broadcast licensing. The company has no disclosed paying end-customer segments beyond institutional buyers (broadcasters, sales agents) and festival audiences.
