Anglo-Hollandia
Anglo-Hollandia was a British-Dutch film production company which operated between 1919 and 1923 during the silent film era. It had its roots in the existing Dutch company Hollandia Films and attempted to produce films with appeal to both Britain and the Netherlands. Background Hollandia was based in the city of Haarlem and was the only Dutch producer of significant scale during the era. It had operated since 1912 but following the First World War it felt constrained by the limits of the relatively small Dutch market and saw the move as a means to break into the much larger British market.

Occasionally Walthamstow Studios in London were also used.Low p.142 Many of the film's stories were based on plays or popular novels. The company's productions we ...
