'Candella' comes from the Latin American Spanish word meaning 'fire'.

Our passion, energy and vision are igniting short film production and education in the UK.

We blaze a unique trail by combining independent short film production and community education workshops with worldwide distribution, festival and cinema programming.

We believe film is a way for people to explore their place in the world. We believe community filmmaking can lead the way in creativity and can achieve cinematic quality. This is how film can connect cultures, inspire new filmmakers and set audience's imaginations and emotions alight.

Technology doesn't create stories, people do.
- Mariela Artiles, Candella Director
