About Oaxial Pictures

Oaxial Pictures is an independent film label headquartered in Lisbon, Portugal. We exist at the convergence of story and system, where cinematic vision meets precision engineering. Inspired by mythology, modern code, and underground aesthetics, we are driven to disrupt convention and restructure the foundations of storytelling.

Our Philosophy

We believe in the gravity of structure and the mystery of myth. To us, a film is not just a narrative but an encoded system of meaning. Every choice in a frame, cut, or composition is intentional, loaded, and interconnected. We see cinema as architecture: built from symbols, aligned with emotion, and structurally sound from first shot to final scene.

Our signature equation, X^1.3 = 62, is our cipher—a symbolic identity of equilibrium, amplification, and the tension between creative intuition and exacting discipline.

What We Do

Oaxial Pictures curates, licenses, and distributes bold, structurally sharp, genre-defiant films. We focus on feature-length narratives that challenge traditional storytelling formats while delivering emotional and aesthetic impact.

We support filmmakers with distinctive visual language and rigorous narrative intent. Whether through direct production or boutique licensing, our mission is to champion films that might otherwise fall through the cracks of traditional studio systems.

Curated Cinema, Reimagined

Rather than following formulas, we create new axes of interpretation. We are not bound by mainstream metrics of success. Instead, we seek out work that resonates with cultural tension, philosophical depth, and future-forward narrative design.

We curate slates like a gallery selects exhibitions—each film is a deliberate addition to the larger thematic and stylistic vision of the label.

Built in Lisbon. Distributed Everywhere.

Rooted in Lisbon's hybrid energy—where old cities meet new code—Oaxial Pictures is designed to function globally. Our operational model allows for nimble licensing, rapid development, and the cultivation of long-term filmmaker partnerships.

We partner with streamers, distributors, festivals, and platforms aligned with our values to amplify voices and challenge viewers.
