Every Honour film starts with the intent to honour something or someone, within the heart of each filmmaker.

Having heard their hearts, we believed that their stories were worth telling – and indeed, they were.

MEET OUR FILMMAKERS

Hear their hearts. Understand their intent. Witness their inspiring journey of making an Honour film.

SEASON 10

When filmmaking becomes a life-changing experience

Sometimes, making an Honour film is nothing short of a life-changing experience.

In the midst of a pandemic, with filming restricted to homes, these filmmakers had to look for stories that were right under their noses, right in their own homes.

What might have been viewed as ‘dirty laundry’ was now seen in a new light. Trash became treasure. Shame shape-shifted into honour.

And in that process,
Perspectives shifted.
Hearts softened.
Relationships mended.

SEASON 1

In November 2015, a maiden crop of Honour short films were screened to a ‘live’ audience for the first time. Right there and then, we realised that Honour films resonated profoundly with people. 

Here, two of the pioneer Honour filmmakers from that very first Honour Film Screening share the inspiration behind their short film.
