The film was produced by Cinet Film in co-production with Pomor Film (Norway), Davaj Film (Finland), Love Streams Agnès B. Productions (France), with support from the Finnish Film Foundation, FilmCamp and Filmpool Nord.

Development.

In 2003, the Finnish commercials production company Woodpecker Film published the short movie Rare Exports Inc. online. (It is available on other YouTube channels as well.) Here, the film's writer and director Jalmari Helander established a band of three hunters (marker, sniper, and tracker) searching the wilderness of Lapland for the wild Santa Claus. After the positive reception from an online audience, Woodpecker Film produced and published the sequel short movie Rare Exports: The Official Safety Instructions in 2005, again with Helander as writer-director.

In 2007, Jalmari Helander introduced producer Petri Jokiranta to his idea of a feature length Rare Exports film based on his short films that had already acquired a cult reputation on the Internet. Jokiranta's company, Cinet, picked up the rights and Helander started to develop the concept together with Jokiranta.

Home media.

Rare Exports was released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on October 25, 2011. The Blu-ray version includes the two original short films and a variety of featurettes, such as a "Making Of", a look at the concept art, explanation of the animatics and computer-generated imagery, the notoriously contemptible feature film Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, and other extras.

Man this is such a fantastic movie 2 watch......I think that this is such a beautifully directed movie 2 watch, its got a great cast throughout this movie...I think that this is such a fantastic movie 2 watch., this is such a really funny movie 2 watch, I think that this is such a fantastic movie 2 watch, with a great cast throughout this movie.....it is such an entertaining movie 2 watch, with a great cast throughout this movie.....
