Moya Lens
Food is never just food. Moya Lens is how Balè Moya sees — through film, through photography, through the slow documentation of a culture that deserves to be witnessed at full resolution.
Moya Films
Short and long-form films that follow the thread of Ethiopian food culture — the people, the traditions, the kitchens, the hands that hold the knowledge.
Where Is My Jebena?
A film about the jebena — Ethiopia's iconic coffee pot — and what it means to carry it across distance and time. Produced by Balè Moya.
The Art of the Jebena
A visual document of jebena-making — from raw clay to finished vessel. Produced by Balè Moya from beginning to end.
More films coming. The Moya Stories series — portraits of food entrepreneurs and the people behind Ethiopian culinary culture — returns soon with an expanded scope.
The Photography Archive
A living collection documenting the eating culture of Ethiopian food — the communal table, the shared injera, the hands that reach across the messob.
The archive is in its early stages. We are gathering images, building partnerships, and planning our first exhibition in New York.
If you are a photographer, a storyteller, or simply someone who has captured a moment worth preserving — reach out to us.
Moya Stories
Coming soon. Portraits of people and their relationship with Ethiopian food — entrepreneurs, grandmothers, chefs, farmers, those who learned to cook far from home. The food is always the thread. The story is always the person.
