Raunkiaer Films was founded a British-Danish film director. He has directed a number of award-winning short films, with a particular interest in period drama. We work with a number of regular collaborators, including award-winning cinematographer Stephen Allwright and interdisclipinary artist, Jessica Poon. The best way to get involved in our work is to join our mailing list, which you can do under Contact.
The name Raunkiaer comes from a Danish surname, from the words for "raven" and "village pond". In Norse mythology, the ravens Hugin and Munin acted as Odin's spies, bringing him information from the four corners of the Earth. Like the English village green, a kjaer carries a deep emotional resonance. Like our namesakes, we hope that our films encourage you to respond both emotionally and intellectually to the world around us.
