Capella Films, Inc. was an American film production company founded in 1990 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Formed by Hamburg-based Deyhle-Baer Media Holdings,[1] Capella Films constituted the production branch to Capella Intl. which specialised in foreign distribution.

Together, Capella Films and Capella Intl. operated a highly active production and distribution hub whose partners included Universal Studios, German distributor, Connexion Films, American production arm, Connexion American Media Inc., Bregman-Baer Productions, and April-Connexion Films. Capella Films, Inc. formed a $1.3billion acquisition attempt for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/United Artists in 1996. The company was later merged into Bloom Media in 2012. This company is also not to be confused with Russian film company Capella Film.
