Honeycomb Films is dedicated to the production of original audiovisual media at the intersection of art, anthropology, and politics. Our projects seek to promote cross-cultural understanding, creative collaboration, and the mutual nourishment of theory and practice.
Honeycomb Films was created by Rachel Lears, who works as a filmmaker,
musician, and writer based in Brooklyn, NY. Rachel holds an MPhil
in cultural anthropology from New York University and a BA in
music from Yale University, and studied documentary production
as part of NYU's
Program in Culture and Media. In 2005, she received a Fulbright
grant to Uruguay for the production of the documentary Birds of
Passage. In 2008-09, she is serving as Managing Editor of e-misférica,
the online journal of the Hemispheric Institute for Performance
and Politics
. She performs her original music with the band The
Mystery Keys.
