Smoke & Mirrors is a platform for non-fiction cinema with a focus on hybrid forms. We produce essay films, architectural films, and multi-narrative films that are not driven by a plot but by a theme. We want our films to amplify underrepresented voices of our time while propelling the art of non-fiction cinema forward.

Next to making short, mid-length and feature length documentaries, we search for new, meaningful, spatial ways to present films to audiences. We explore spatial formats such as installations, room scale projections and immersive experiences. In doing so, we aim to explore how cinema and architecture meet in new ways, while reaching broader audiences through alternative venues, alongside festivals and TV.


Smoke and Mirrors is a foundation and follows the Code Cutural Governance, the Fair Practice Code and the Code Diversity and Inclusion.

Maker with an idea for a new project? Send us an email at info@smokeandmirrors.studio

We evaluate projects based on the below criterias:
1. Does the film present a perspective that is underrepresented in current discourse about a societal topic?
2. Does the film exhibit artistic experimentation that reflects the distinctive voice of its creator?
3. Can we connect the film with the appropriate platforms to maximize its impact?
