After 10 years of experience living in Mozambique, working as a filmmaker for international organizations, the director Fabian Ribezzo founds the production company Azabache Films.
Always sensitive to civil and human rights issues, our company produces animations, documentaries, and fiction for a wide range of clients, such as the European Union, UNICEF, United Nations, UNHabitat, Italian Cooperation, Handicap International and ILO, as well as several international NGOs.

Our commitment to civil rights is also expressed in our independent production. With the short film “A Tropical Sunday”, filmed in Mozambique, we won the Best Drama Award at the Aspen Shortsfest 2014, qualifying for entry the selection for the Oscars 2015. To this day, the film continues to be screened in Mozambican schools during the Child’s Month festivities.

Our educational animations “Sometimes the river” and “The Change” won several international prizes. As films designed for an audience of all ages, they have been distributed in schools worldwide. “The Change” was also screened at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
