Initially trained in urban geography, then in visual arts, Emanuel Licha is an artist and filmmaker. His films focus on specific spatial and architectural objects, leading him to consider objects in the urban landscape as social, historical, and political indices. "Hotel Machine" (2016), his first feature-length creative documentary, premiered in competition at Cinéma du réel at the Centre Pompidou, and won various awards. Zo reken is his second feature-length creative documentary.
