The Filmakers, a production by Small Theater, is designed for audiences from the age of 13+. It gives them a tour through the world of film and film technologies. A tiny, but perfectly equipped film studio is created on stage to show spectators everything that a big movie screen can do. Is it possible to create a high-budget film without cameras and post-production technologies?

The Filmmakers was created as a collective improvisation without a script based on a concept and idea. Each member of the actors’ team is a co-author of the whole production.
You will see a short, single story on stage. But you will see it six times as it transforms in film history. Starting with silent movies over to Alfred Hitchcock’s horrors, western movies in sepia, misery of war, sitcom couch, and all the way to space sci-fi.

In our film-theatre lab you will look under the hood of where all big movies in the world were created. One musician operates the sound design of the whole film history of the world, five actors perform in dozens of roles, 40 costumes with more than a hundred sets and props are used in front of a 2 meter film screen and all completely in 3D!
