welcome.

 
  Small Movies is a movie-minded site disposed to the art and craft of making cinema: the equipment, methods and techniques used by hundreds of thousands of people over the last one hundred years.

Small movies are brilliant and colorfast, reflect the minutiae of their makers, and have no time for mundanities. For "proper" exposure and "matching" angles, "master" shots and "making it", go elsewhere.

  Small Movies seeks to unearth the lost, terminal on the day that "filmmaker" became a word, buried when it became a status symbol.

Small Movies joyously seeks the rediscovery of film as film; and to leave it at that.

To this end, Small Movies has been publishing all information seen as relevant to the cause in any way in various media since January 1995.

Small movies are being planned filmed edited shown created everywhere. Small movies continue, in some way or another, here.
