Independent production company. We work across formats and ideas that resist the obvious — from digital cinema to 8mm film.
Romasanta Films is an independent production company based in Helsinki. We make films, photographs and visual work that prioritise experimentation over convention — projects that are willing to be strange, slow, or formally unusual.
We work across a wide range of formats depending on what each project calls for: digital cinema, 35mm, 16mm, Super 8, infrared, VHS, and medium format photography. The format is never incidental — it shapes the image at a fundamental level.
We also run our own darkroom, handling film developing for both motion picture and still photography across virtually every format.
"Film crafts outside the ordinary for ideas outside the ordinary."— Romasanta Films
From concept to final cut. Experimental short films, music videos, documentary work, and commissioned pieces. Each project treated as its own formal problem.
Still photography on film. Portraits, editorial, documentary, and personal work. Medium format and 35mm. Infrared-capable for projects that require it.
In-house darkroom. We process virtually any film format, from subminiature to large format. Negatives returned with high-res scans.
If you have a project that needs the right format — or you're not sure what that is yet — get in touch. We work with musicians, directors, artists, and anyone with something worth making.
