Oaxial Pictures
Curated cinema with architectural intent. Oaxial Pictures is an independent film label based in Lisbon, crafting and championing structurally precise, genre-defiant work. We sit where story meets system—mythic subtext, modern code, and underground aesthetics—pursuing films that are built, not merely told.
What we do
We curate and license feature narratives with distinctive visual grammar and measurable narrative discipline; develop and produce select projects where our operating model or craft advantage moves the needle; and distribute and amplify through boutique partnerships that respect both the film and its audience.
Editorial stance
Structure first: every frame is intentional and meaning is engineered across shot, cut, and composition. Myth & modernity: classical archetypes are wired through contemporary language. Defiant but legible: bold form never loses emotional clarity.
Operating model
We apply gallery logic to our slate—each title is a deliberate addition to a coherent label. Pipelines are lean and festival-ready by default, with efficient post and delivery. From a Lisbon HQ we work globally with collaborators, streamers, and festivals.
Identity
Our cipher X1.3 = 62 signals equilibrium and amplification—the tension between creative intuition and exacting discipline that defines our work.
Partnerships
We collaborate with filmmakers, distributors, and platforms aligned with curated, future-forward cinema.
