Indie Films

Indie Films was founded at 1991 by Arto Koskinen and Petri Rossi. Petri Rossi took a good care of the company for its first ten years until Tomi Riionheimo bought the company on August 2001. The Indie Films tradition is to produce good animations and do whatever the crew likes to do. So Indie Films is and will be just what we like.

Indie Films has three sublabels: Hankikanto, Helsingin Kino-Veikot and Kennel-Kino.

Helsingin Kino-Veikot

= The Helsinki Kino Dudes

This sublabel was formed at 2001 to be a DIY and only for fun section of Indie Films. But it seems that there have been enough fun and DIY in the Indie Films itself so Kino-Veikot have been inactive ever since except some Super-8 porn animation and Super-8 action porn flick screenings at Animatricks and Riemu festivals.

So if you need some vintage animated or action porn shows to be screened at your pirivate party please do not hesitate to contact Kino-Veikot through Indie Films contact address.

Kennel-Kino

This is not really a sublabel. Kennel-Kino was a DIY Super-8 film production label in the nineties and the catalogue is now taken care by Indie Films.
