The French term cinéma copains stands for cinema produced without money among friends. Negatively, it stands for amateur cinema, for self-exploitation plus exploitation of friends. Without yet having found a recipe against self-exploitation, cinema copains are working on turning the term into a positive one: cinéma copains stands for independent filmmaking with the means at our disposal, on issues that really interest them.

Since 2000, Arne Hector and Minze Tummescheit have been working as cinéma copains in cooperation with copines and copains from all over the world. They are interested in economic issues, which they always understand as political and social questions. Their documentary works, which include lectures, performances, installations and artistic documentaries, are based on long-term projects. At the interface of documentary film and art, with a visible political stance, they seek form for content.
