Yodica film

The Story of Yodica

Yodica was founded in Milan, Italy, by Marco Barbereschi and Cinzia Cancedda around 2018. Barbereschi originally developed his signature colour effects for his own art and photography exhibitions, using what he describes as a particular handmade machine of his own creation to pre-expose and treat film, though he has kept the exact process private. His partner Cancedda, an illustrator, encouraged turning the technique into a commercial product and designs the brand's distinctive packaging.

Yodica is best understood as a small artisanal producer applying proprietary hand-processing to existing base film stock, rather than a company coating its own raw emulsion, the specific source film isn't publicly disclosed, but the treatment applied to it is genuinely the brand's own creation.

Yodica's Camera Film Ranges

Yodica's range is built around seven pre-exposed 35mm colour negative films, each named after a star or constellation and carrying its own distinct colour-shift effect: Atlas and Pegasus for rainbow tints, Sirio for purple, blue and green tones, Antares for red, violet and deep blue, Vega for blue, purple and orange, Polaris for mint, light blue and pink, and Andromeda for fuchsia.

Choosing the Right Yodica Film

Each Yodica film delivers a distinctly different colour palette, so it's worth choosing based on the mood you want, Antares and Sirio for bold, saturated colour drama, or Polaris and Vega for softer pastel-leaning tones. These are creative, effect-driven films rather than accurate colour reproduction stocks. Compare Yodica film prices on Filmproof.
