Allfilm

What Allfilm does

Allfilm OÜ is a privately held Estonian film production company founded in 1995 in Tallinn, structured as the country's first multi-producer film studio and self-described as Estonia's largest film studio. The company operates two integrated business lines: original film production (feature fiction films and documentaries) and production services (equipment rental and post-production). Its fiction catalogue includes internationally awarded titles such as Tangerines (2013, Oscar and Golden Globe nominee for Best Foreign Language Film), In the Crosswind (2014), Kalev (2022, Estonia's Oscar submission), and The Last Sentinel (2023, an Estonia-UK-Germany co-production starring Kate Bosworth and Thomas Kretschmann). Documentary output spans subjects from Estonian history (Funeral Diaries, The Circle) to international co-productions including the Japan co-production Yoyogi and the hybrid documentary Who am I Smiling For? (2023).

The production services division provides professional cinema camera rental (Canon C300 MII, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, Canon 7D, Canon 5D MII), audio and lighting equipment (Sound Devices, Sennheiser, ARRI, Ianiro), and a full post-production facility covering DaVinci Resolve color grading, ProTools/Nuendo sound editing, Premiere VFX compositing, offline and online editing, and DCP mastering. Commercial production for Estonian corporate clients (LHV, Rimi, Elisa, Eesti Energia, Danisa) and music videos add a third revenue stream.

Commercially, Allfilm operates a project-based revenue model with three streams: (1) producer fees and back-end participation from feature and documentary co-productions, financed through a mix of Estonian Film Institute grants (e.g., 389,000 EUR for The Poet and the Spy), EACEA MEDIA slate funding (180,000 EUR in 2014), and international co-production partners; (2) fee-for-service production services with publicly listed unit pricing (e.g., 250 EUR/day for camera rental, 85 EUR/hour for color grading, 70 EUR/hour for sound editing or VFX); and (3) commercial production contracts for corporate and broadcast clients. Distribution flows through international sales agents (LevelK, Cinemavault, Taskovski Films, Samuel Goldwyn Films) for global reach and Hea Film for Estonian theatrical release, with festival circuit presence (PÖFF, TIFF, Göteborg, Beijing IFF) as the primary top-of-funnel channel. The company has 11–50 employees, is led by founder/Chairman Ivo Felt, and is GDPR-compliant under Estonian registry code 10002394.
