INFO
Jan-Holger Hennies is a documentary filmmaker, editor and cinematographer based in Berlin. His works explore different forms of film and web-based narratives, interested in creating alternate approaches to contexts of violence and practices of resistance. He enjoys to branch out of these topics though, creating audiovisual content for clients in the realms of arts and culture. Jan is an MA graduate from the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology at the University of Manchester.
