Our Partnerships
The Inspiration of our name
The name
Helikon was inspired by Greek mythology. Helikon was the mountain of HÉLIOS, god of the Sun, and also the mountain where the 9 muses lived, inspiring deities of artists, musicians, and poets. They were all daughters of Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, as they were the art channels that should use the dimension of time to express themselves. We believe that cinema, audiovisual, and animation are an art form that brings together, like the muses, many forms of inspiration in just one work. A special opportunity to mix drama, comedy, history, music, and poetry.
