Contact

First Hand Films wants to make people laugh and cry. We want to learn about our complex and beautiful world, fall in love and be seduced into new universes.
If a film takes us through hell and back, if it lets us discover unique heroines and heroes and if it hides a political and human message in all these emotions, then we fall in love with a film.
If we are allowed to experience impressive pictures full of honesty and fantasy in the cinema and are released back into a reality and world after the screening, which never look the same again as before, then we want to carry this experience to as many viewers as possible.

First Hand Films continually advocates for diversity and inclusivity with stories that are both subversive and commercial, great stories of new, different and unheard voices from around the world, often by, about and with women.
