SantaFilm is film from Santa! It started in 2019 with Santa RAE 1000, a high speed black and white film first released in a limited run of 1500 units. By the end of the year all were sold out.

In summer of 2022 Santa launched a crowdfunding campaign to release the first SantaFilm colour film, which was successfully funded. Read more about the film in the about page about the film.

We are selling off the rest of the stock and donating all proceeds from the sales to the humanitarian effort in Ukraine. Read more about that effort HERE.
