Film & Television

Most recently, Concordia produced THE TALE OF SILYAN, directed by the Oscar-nominated director of ‘Honeyland’, Tamara Kotevska. The film follows a white stork, Silyan, and a Macedonian farmer, Nikola. Their lives intertwine when Nikola, abandoned by his family, saves the injured bird from a landfill. As Nikola and Silyan form a bond, they find solace and companionship in each other’s solitude. THE TALE OF SILYAN premiered on National Geographic Channel in January 2026 and is currently streaming on Disney+.

Concordia produced 2025’s acclaimed Sundance documentary film DEAF PRESIDENT NOW! co-directed by Nyle DiMarco and Concordia Studio founder, Davis Guggenheim. The film tells the story of eight tumultuous days in 1988 at the world’s only Deaf university, where four students lead a movement to elect the university’s first Deaf president and change the course of history. DEAR PRESIDENT NOW! is streaming on Apple TV+.

In 2024, Concordia produced GIRLS STATE, a follow up film to the widely celebrated, Emmy® award-winning documentary BOYS STATE.
