Documentary Production

Where architecture meets the cosmos

We explore the relationship between human experience, space, and light

About Us

The Studio

Aynoor is a documentary studio based in Marrakech, working at the intersection of architecture, film, photography, and research. We develop projects about figures who shape their territory — architects, scientists, artisans — exploring the relationships between space, culture, and natural phenomena.

Our work is rooted in research and observation, and unfolds through collaborations with architects, artists, researchers, and cultural institutions. Each project is conceived as a process of inquiry — an attempt to document, interpret, and transmit complex realities through a cinematic language.

For Aynoor, documentary is not only a means of recording — it is a space for dialogue between filmmaker, subject, and viewer, where stories become lived and sensitive experiences.
