Lomography · Austria · 135 film

The LomoKino is a motion picture camera designed by Lomography to transform standard 35mm photographic film into a cinematic medium. Hand-cranked like early amateur movie cameras, it captures a sequence of individual frames onto a single roll of 135 film. Users manually rotate the crank to expose each frame, creating a unique, stuttering, analog aesthetic reminiscent of early experimental films or stop-motion animations. Its simple, lightweight plastic construction prioritizes accessibility and playful experimentation over professional refinement. As part of Lomography's "Move" collection, it embodies the brand's ethos of democratizing creative processes, encouraging users to embrace imperfections and the tactile experience of analog filmmaking. While not capable of capturing true video, it offers an accessible and affordable entry point for creating short, abstract motion pictures using readily available 35mm film.
