Places the camera loves

On spaces made to be filmed and on the curated The Filmable Book by Odoardo™ yearbook.

We look at what makes a space cinematic: light, proportion, materials and the drama of an interior. We also go behind the scenes of the yearbook's curatorial selection — what guides our nominations and how to enter a place of your own.
