Omecittà

Photographer Chantal Stoman explores the past of the small town of Ome in Japan, a city that is inextricably linked to cinema. Ome was home to three cinemas, which showed foreign films. Painted wooden posters are still all around the town.

LA. LA. End

The Californian sun, which lights up the city, lights up again every evening in cinemas all over the world". Guided by these words from Blaise Cendrars, L.A. L.A. END is a stroll through Los Angeles, among the remnants of Hollywood's Golden Age. Following in the footsteps of a Marilyn Monroe lookalike, we meet a gallery of characters who paint a sensitive portrait of a bygone era that gradually becomes a portrait of a woman.
