Nadasdy Film

Nadasdy Film is an independent Swiss animation production company founded in Geneva in 2001 by animator-director Zoltán Horváth and producer-administrator Nicolas Burlet. Its work spans auteur short films, theatrical features, television series, broadcast specials, documentaries and immersive experiences. The studio develops, produces and co-produces projects with Swiss and international filmmakers, combining creative development with animation fabrication and production management.

Its production capabilities encompass hand-drawn and cut-out 2D animation, 3D computer animation, stop-motion puppets, rotoscoping and mixed media. Depending on the project, its work extends from storyboarding, visual development and character design through animatics, animation, post-production and final delivery. It participates in international financing and co-production arrangements as either delegated producer or minority co-producer.

Film and television

The company's feature filmography includes No Dogs or Italians Allowed, Savages, Yuku and the Flower of the Himalayas, Red Jungle and Approved for Adoption. Alain Ughetto's No Dogs or Italians Allowed received the Annecy Jury Prize and the European Film Award for Best Animated Feature. Claude Barras's Savages was selected for Cannes and Annecy in 2024.

Its television work includes Helveticus, Dimitri and Les enquêtes de Maëlys, alongside specials such as La Colline aux cailloux, Vanille and Zibilla. These productions sit within a broader slate serving independent cinema, broadcasters and international animation festivals.

Commissioned and immersive work

Alongside its film and television slate, Nadasdy Film produces commercial and commissioned animation for public institutions, educational bodies, NGOs and broadcasters. Reported work includes fire safety animations for Geneva schools, UNAIDS campaigns and broadcast interstitials for RAI3.

The studio also develops digital and virtual reality experiences, with immersive credits including Bloom and the 2026 Venice Immersive selection Sunset Motel. This activity extends its animation practice into interactive arts while maintaining its focus on director-led visual storytelling.
