MANIFESTO : What is Craft Cinema?
Craft products are associated with sophisticated taste, multifaceted flavours, quality ingredients, a personal touch, passion, and copious talent involved in the production process. All of this applies to craft cinema in particular. It is a result of boutique microproduction that lacks the support of big industry and important institutions but fights for its independent viewpoint.

Craft means auteur cinema par exellence created by people who often sacrifice their sleep and private lives for the sole sake of expressing what they could not leave unexpressed.

Its common features include:

- auteur point of view;
- distinctive personal style;
- high quality of all its components with attention to details;
- off-"big industry";

- not (or scarcely) supported by mainstream institutions;

- independently and self-produced;

- with limited distribution (not necessarily but it often happens).

Such stylistic and production "restrictions" often suppose micro-budget as well, but the budget amount is not a defining criteria.

The most important characteristic of craft cinema is that it comes straight from the heart. And this is priceless.
