Camera Buff
Synopsis
Filip purchases an 8mm movie camera upon the birth of his first child. As the first camera of its kind in the town, he is appointed official photographer by the local Party boss. His perspective expands when he is sent to regional film festivals with his early works, but his growing dedication to filmmaking also results in family conflict and personal philosophical struggles.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 16
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
