Cinema

Festivals, filmmakers and the stories told in the dark

Cinema is where HERZ HOUSE follows film festivals as editorial projects — through their photographers, the people in the audience, long conversations with filmmakers, and images made between screenings. Each festival has its own project page: a cover, the main story, interviews, photographic reports and moving-image material as they are published.

Festivals

1 project

Festivals are followed through people rather than premieres — the photographers, the visitors, the conversations gathered between screenings.
