Here is how (and why) we make books & magazines

Our goal is to bring the process of creation itself back into our consciousness. The fast-moving nature of the internet has many advantages, but it also has certain disadvantages. The imperishable, and the analog have attracted us since we started making films. This and our appetite for the experiences of other artists paved the way for our little print revolution.

From Magazine to Book to Newspaper

We started a roughly biannual newspaper by launching our first 44 page strong, way to big photonewspaper. One story. One photographer. One subject. Three giant fold-out posters.

Hometown Journal Portraiture #01

Jana Gerberding photographs Lucas Krzikalla for the first issue of the Portraiture series—a magazine dedicated to showcasing the work of visual artists in combination with their subjects, giving them a platform to tell their stories through words and imagery.

You want to be part of our journey?

We believe that art should be accessible to all of us, which is why our stories will always remain free and for everyone to watch, read or listen to—but creating them requires resources, dedication, and a network of supporters who value independent artistic storytelling.

By becoming a Hometown Friend, you can help us do that and play a crucial role in sustaining and expanding our work. Your support directly contributes to the production of our films, the growth of our community, and the realization of cultural events. In return, you become part of an engaged group that values art and its impact on society, and more.
