Entertainment is not a bad word

In 2017, the couple founded the company Fiction Park – with the catchy motto: “Entertainment is not a bad word”.

Sincere thanks to Rüdiger Sturm for this portrait of Markus Halberschmidt and to GERMAN FILMS for approaching him. And to photographer Bernd Nörig for this this great photo.

In autumn 2016, Markus Halberschmidt and his partner Maria Tsigka spent a lot of time chilling on their living room sofa, watching an entire series. Then, suddenly, the couple said to each other: “Why don’t we do something like this?” … This joint realisation had its consequences, ultimately leading to up-and-coming German director Tilman Singer landing in the top 10 of the American cinema charts with his arthouse horror CUCKOO in August 2024.

👉 Here you can read the full little portrait

Looking forward to hopefully bring with our FICTION PARK more entertaining projects to the audiences in this world !

CUCKOO at Thessaloniki

CUCKOO goes Thessaloniki

Very happy to share that the Greek Premiere of CUCKOO will be at 65th Thessaloniki International Film Festival.

31/10/24

Almost exactly 2 years ago, FICTION PARK had it’s first festival screening at TIFF 63.
The World Premiere of BEHIND THE HAYSTACKS by Asimina Proedrou, who came home with six awards, the beginning of an incredible journey.

For our little bird it will be the last two late screenings in 2024 which mark a no less impressive journey.

Berlinale recently wrote that CUCKOO perfectly embodies the eerie, thrilling, and mysterious vibes of the spooky season.

Happy Halloween!
