Jury statement: “The cinema is alive, we are all quite sure of that! But how do we tell about living cinema history? How about the people behind the camera and behind the screen? What makes the cinema as a place so special? But even more, who fills it bring it to life? The documentary film ‘We are the cinema’ is absolutely certain that it is not only, but of course always, the films that enliven the cinema and reinvent it again and again. THE CINEMA ARE WE tells the story of a very special one Hessian cultural institution and celebrates the place and its people: The film shop in Kassel is not just cinema history, it is the future of cinema. With her documentary, Livia Theuer manages to make you want to go to the cinema.”
The film did not win in the “Best Documentary” category, but it received the film jury’s special prize.
