Velvet Films

Velvet Films was created in 2016 by Sebastian Schelenz, producer and Christophe Jouret, entrepreneur. In May 2017 André Sommerlatte joined the team as associate producer.

Velvet Films focalizes on the development and the production of international feature films, as well as the emergence of Belgian filmmakers. Our desire is to work with ambitious partners to craft films with strong subjects and a unique vision. Without wanting to limit itself to a genre, Velvet Films perceives itself as a hub of exchange between talents and cultures, aiming to produce diversified films  aiming for societal impact.
