Still things,

set in

motion.

Kinora is an independent studio for films, campaigns and identities — made for brands that would rather be felt than seen.

(01) — Studio

We are a small studio of directors, designers and photographers. We make still things move — films, campaigns and identities with the patience of a photograph and the pulse of a film.

(05) — Approach

How a

film

begins

Four quiet steps, the same on every project — whether it is a nine-minute film or a new logotype.

Listen

Every project begins with a week of listening — founders, makers, customers. We leave with one sentence that describes what the work must make people feel.

Frame

We decide what stays out of frame. Treatments, references, one location and one light source — the constraints that make the work unmistakable.

Make

A small crew, long takes and plenty of patience. Directors, designers and photographers at one table, from the first frame to the final grade.

Release

Cutdowns, stills, identity rules and a toolkit your team can actually use — so the work keeps moving long after we hand it over.

“They filmed our perfume as if it were weather. Two years on, the campaign still feels like the brand’s first sentence.”

Clémence Aubert

Brand Director, Lune Parfums

“Kinora slowed us down in the best possible way. The work is calm, exact and impossible to mistake for anyone else’s.”

Rafael Sousa

Founder, Brume Atelier

“We asked for a launch film and got a way of seeing. Our whole team now talks about light the way they do.”

CMO, Volta Automobili
