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.
