2014 and 2015 were years of realization, enhancing our credibility in fiction and our positioning in the national and international market as we successfully managed the production of three feature films: Keeper by Guillaume Senez (selected in over 70 festivals and has received about twenty awards),Welcome Home by Philippe de Pierpont (selected at FIFF Namur in international competition – special mention from the Jury) and Insoumise by Jawad Rhalib (Jury Prize at the Marrakech Film Festival, and selected in 25 festivals around the world). These films have been sold in many territories.

In November 2017, we shot the second feature film by Guillaume Senez Our Battles with Romain Duris in the lead role. This film was selected by the Critics' Week at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival and nominated for the 2019 Césars in the categories of Best Foreign Film and Best Actor.

In terms of animation, in 2014, we participated in the production of Tomm Moore's second animated feature filmSong of the Sea, nominated for the Oscars and Césars and awarded the best European animated feature in 2015. We co-produced in 2022Look for the Womana 30 x 3 min animated series directed by Julie Gavras and the Brigade du titre, produced by Films du Bilboquet and Zadig and supported by ARTE. We are open to new animation co-production projects

Benefiting from a strong and privileged relationship with authors and creators, and after producing about ten feature films, Iota Production is now investing in the series field by encouraging talents to merge their personal universes with the creative vitality that makes Belgium a particularly conducive ground. Currently, we are developing The Mysteries of Condroz by Valérie Lieko and Anthony Tueni with the support of RTBF and the Belgian Series Fund (writing aid).

Co-production is also part of the activity, allowing us to build connections with other producers, regulate our own production pace, and expand the realm of possibilities. Recently, the Latvian feature film Oleg by Juris Kursietis was selected by the Directors' Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival 2019 and won the Grand Prix in the national competition at the Brussels International Film Festival 2019 (BRIFF). The Greek feature film Tailor by Sonia Liza Kenterman has circulated in numerous festivals and received two awards at the Hellenics Awards 2021, among others. We co-produced the Moroccan-Tunisian feature film Backstage directed by Afef Ben Mahmoud and Khalil Benkirane, selected at the Venice Film Festival 2023 (Giornate Degli Autori section) and which received the Cinema & Art Awards. We are currently in post-production The Whale by Sylvère Petit (Les Films d’Ici) and In a minute you will be gone by Hadas Ayalon (Lama Films).
