Felsom Film was a film production company which operated in Weimar Germany between 1922 and 1933. It was founded and run by producers Hermann Fellner and Josef Somlo. The company's name is a blend of their surnames.
During the 1920s, the firm embarked on a series of co-productions with the British studio Gainsborough Pictures. In September 1929, the company released Land Without Women, the first German language part-talkie, ahead of the German company UFA, which did not release Melody of the Heart until December 1929. Following the Nazi takeover, they dissolved their company and fled into exile in Britain.
