About us
Films are not made alone.
The Frankfurt Filmmaking Community is a meeting place for people interested in documentary filmmaking, cinematography and visual storytelling. Hosted by Pentagram Originals, an independent creative house. The group is focused on learning, collaboration and creating real work: not passive networking.
Filmmakers, camera operators, editors, photographers, writers, sound creatives, actors, presenters, potential documentary subjects and complete beginners are welcome. You do not need professional equipment or an established portfolio.
Our events may include:
• Practical cinematography and filmmaking sessions
• Film walks and shooting exercises around Frankfurt
• Documentary development and creative discussions
• Screenings, editing reviews and constructive feedback
• Casting and crew calls for upcoming productions
• Opportunities to collaborate on short films and documentaries
Respect, reliability, consent and proper creative credit are fundamental. For every production opportunity, the role, intended use, voluntary or paid basis, and screen credit will be communicated clearly in advance.
The aim is simple: meet good people, learn by doing and create meaningful films together.
