Prologue
June 2004 was the establishment of Idioms Film by 8 young artists working in various fields of film-making, photography and music.
The aim of Idioms Film is to widen and to encourage a national understanding and support for local cinema production on one hand and to involve a wide range of artists and graduates from deferent fields in the process of establishing a creative industry infrastructure core on the other hand.
Idioms Film is running three main projects:
Film-making where a new wave of young film-makers community is emerging , still photography where capturing stills evolves into several facinating exebitions and a technical lab where new creative solutions are developed supporting the local television and cinema industry. About Us
