We are Roma Media Film Productions and our cinematographic projects aim to build bridges through the arts between the Roma peoples and their host communities.

Fighting predjudice through the medium of film, our projects entertain as well as educate, brining together the two communities in the common love of cinema.

So, who are the Roma?

One of the most persecuted minorities in Europe, indeed the world, often referred to as the Silent Victims of the Holocaust, the Roma are a collection of peoples who used to and some still do - lead a nomadic lifestyle through all the continent of Europe.

Known for their music, dance and craftsmanship, many negative stereotypes have been attributed to them which are still current today.

WWII led to the canisation in the Roman Catholic church of the only full blooded Romany saint.

A Spaniard, he went through great trials which won him admiration from worshippers.

Saint Sarah

She is not an official saint on the Roman Catholic list of saints, but Saint Sarah is said to have worked with Mary the Mother of God and the two other St Marys who saught refuge in modern day France.

A pilgramage is held yearly to St Maries de la Mer.
