Scarlet Visions: Where Dreams Take Shape
Christian Jilka is a freelance painter and filmmaker. Born in 1994 in Krems an der Donau, Austria, he has been making films since receiving his first Mini-DV camera as a gift from his parents at the age of 11. During his school years, he achieved early success in filmmaking when he participated in the „Union Internationale du Cinéma“ in Bulgaria in 2012. In 2017, he completed his film studies (film directing) at Mittweida University and subsequently worked as a production assistant at Lucky Bird Pictures in Munich on the film „Iceman - Der Mann aus dem Eis.“
In 2018, he founded his own company in Munich, Scarlet Visions GmbH, alongside Mai Nguyen. During the same year, he attended a multi-day seminar on film financing with „Match Point“ and „Vicky Christina Barcelona“ producer, Gareth Wiley, in London. He took on the roles of screenwriter, producer, and director for four short films (up to 45 minutes in length), which were showcased and awarded at over 40 film festivals worldwide. Together with Mai Nguyen, he produced the first two films by Vietnamese auteur-filmmaker Kim Quy Bui, called „The Inseminator“ and „Memoryland.“ These films achieved success at international festivals such as the Busan International Film Festival, Berlinale, and Rotterdam, as well as at the DOCFortnight at the Museum of Modern Arts in New York. They also enjoyed successful screenings in European and Asian cinemas and went into streaming on Mubi.
Since 2022, he has been a co-producer for the international production „Viet and Nam,“ a film supported by the World Cinema Fund and the Torino Film Lab among many others. In addition to his work in filmmaking, Christian Jilka has a passion for photography and continually engages in advertising and promotional film projects.
