Development, Production & Distribution of Feature Films
Anarcho-Film Productions [A-FP] was formed in August 2009, for the purposes of developing, producing and distributing high quality independent feature films and media content, using the anarcho-filmmaking strategies we developed to take advantage of the Digital Revolution.
A-FP took its international bow at the Cannes Market 2015, where our first film, The Great British Mortgage Swindle, was launched. The hard-hitting film went on to become one of the highest rated British documentaries on Prime Video, following a limited UK theatrical release in 2018. In December 2024, A-FP released Michael O'Bernicia's award-winning directorial debut, Nefarious, starring Kim Bodnia; and will release The Three Faced Terrorist in 2025.

The Most Talked About British Documentary Feature Film Of The Century

THE GREAT BRITISH MORTGAGE SWINDLE [2018]
In the wake of the US sub-prime mortgage crisis, the UK housing market collapsed, the reality of which was much more shocking that the public ever imagined.
Insolvent banks were lending money they didn't have; mortgage fraud had been common practice for decades; conveyancing solicitors were giving illegal advice; whilst the police were violently enforcing the selective application of the law.
Then, when all seemed lost, a call to action rallied thousands from all over Britain, in support of the mavericks who took on the might of the banks, armed with nothing except the facts.
5 STAR DOCUMENTARY FEATURE
With the invaluable assistance of award-winning design sales and marketing company, Coffee & Cigarettes, TGBMS was finally completed in October 2018 and was released in the UK on 10/11/2018.
The film was distributed at Savoy, Odeon and Vue cinemas via our Cinema-on-Demand model, as well as being released on DVD and all the major digital platforms by A-FP and UK distributor, 101 Films.
After gaining more than two hundred 5 star reviews, The Great British Mortgage Swindle was one of the the highest rated independent British films released on Amazon.co.uk in 2019.

Nefarious [18] Dir. Michael O'Bernicia | Main Cast: Kim Bodnia, Conor Woodman, Spek, Alwien Tulner, Tygo Gernandt, Guy Porritt, Sharon Percy, Johnny Melville and Antonie Kamerling.

After twenty years of marriage, Europe’s #1 quality coke importer, Michael Elkiar (Kim Bodnia), is having marriage problems. When his eighteen year old son, Marcus, leaves for university, his wife Tonia (Alwein Tulner) questions whether to stay in the relationship.
Struggling with a mid-life crisis, Elkiar’s feeling of worthlessness are magnified by a burgeoning social drug habit. When faced with losing everything he cherishes, he reluctantly agrees to retire from ‘the business’ to save his marriage. But getting out of the business is easier said than done, especially when you’re the boss.
Dope-dealing outlaws, Lez & Billy (Conor Woodman & Spek), are the endearingly vulnerable, lovable rogues who embark on a psychedelic adventure that sees their lives spiral dangerously out of control, as they are consumed by the dog-eat-dog world of international cocaine smuggling.
In a fast-moving, exciting climax imbued with dramatic irony and the inevitability of consequence, the shades of grey between good and evil are positively enlightened by the transcendental nature of true friendship and romantic tragedy.

READ FILM CRITIC'S REVIEW
A Retro-Cult Classic
Michael O'Bernicia's Nefariousarrives two decades after its capture on digital video, emerging from the vaults like a time capsule of pre-financial crisis anxieties. Shot for £17,000 across seventeen non-consecutive days in 2005, this Anglo-Dutch road thriller transforms budgetary constraint into visual poetry. The grain of early digital video, once a limitation, now functions as aesthetic armor, lending the proceedings a documentary urgency that recalls the Dogme 95 movement while anticipating Nicolas Winding Refn's neon-noir sensibilities.
"At its center, Kim Bodnia—stepping into shoes originally fitted for Christopher Walken—delivers a masterclass in criminal ennui as Michael Elkiar, Europe's premier cocaine importer facing existential dissolution. Bodnia inverts his Pushermenace into something more insidious: bourgeois malaise. His Elkiar is Camus's Meursault reimagined as a suburban drug lord, mechanically maintaining empire while his soul quietly hemorrhages. The parallel narrative of small-time dealers Lez and Billy (Conor Woodman and Spek) functions as both cautionary tale and nostalgic elegy, their Amsterdam coffeeshop dreams spiraling into hallucinogenic tragedy that mirrors Elkiar's domestic collapse.
O'Bernicia's screenplay excavates drug prohibition's hypocrisies with surgical precision, constructing a universe where karma operates as inexorably as market forces. The handheld Amsterdam sequences evokeRun Lola Run's anarchic energy filtered through Antonioni's existential dread, while the climactic showdown at Cowgreen Reservoir transforms British countryside into Greek tragedy. What elevates this beyond genre exercise is its profound empathy for characters trapped within systems of their own making—Elkiar's marital crisis unfolds with Bergmanesque devastation while Lez and Billy's doomed friendship channelsWithnail and Ifor the MDMA generation.
The film's treatment of masculinity feels particularly prescient: men undone not by external forces but by emotional inarticulacy, finding expression only through violence and intoxication. O'Bernicia stages their unraveling with the tonal complexity of Mike Hodges'sGet Carter, mixing dark comedy with genuine pathos. The remastered soundtrack adds temporal vertigo, its contemporary landscape clashing productively with mid-2000s digital aesthetics to create a dreamlike meditation on time's circular nature.
Nefarious emerges as that rarest creature: genuinely independent cinema using limitation as liberation. Its twenty-year gestation has transformed zeitgeist capture into universal meditation—a Sisyphean exploration of survival's price in a world where everything, including redemption, is commodified. The final image, pregnant with dramatic irony, suggests there are no clean exits in the economy of crime, only varying degrees of collateral damage. O'Bernicia has delivered a retro-cult classic that feels both utterly of its time and urgently contemporary."

A Highly Controversial Documentary About The Christchurch Mosque Shootings
The Three Faced Terrorist is highly controversial documentary about the Christchurch mosque shootings, which allegedly took place on the 15th of March 2019 and led to a series of government acts which severely curtailed the unalienable rights that were previously guaranteed by the New Zealand constitution.
Within days of the seemingly horrifying series of events at Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre in Christchurch Jacinda Ardern's government had criminalized every weapon that was featured in a purported Facebook livestream of the attacks, as well passing a statute which censored the video and other related content, creating a maximum prison sentence for Kiwi citizens of ten years in prison just for watching it in the privacy of their own homes. Following it's A-FP TV Premiere, TTFT will be released in 2025.
