About Thomas S. Hermansen
Lived 1867 – 1930 (aged 62). Thomas S. Hermansen was a Danish cinematographer, film producer and film director.
Thomas S. Hermansen (1867 – 1930) was an early filmmaker and film company founder from Denmark. He also developed processes for the making of explosives. He was also a photographer.
He came from Låsby, Denmark and was the son of Boelsmand Søren Peder Hermansen and Bodil Marie Thomasen. He liked to experiment with the new medium of film trying new ideas such as when in 1904 he mounted a camera on the front of a tram in Aarhus and created a film driving through the city.
He found it more profitable to show films than make them, so in 1910 he formed a film company called Fotorama that showed his own films as well as films rented from abroad.
Aarhus offers smartphone tours of the city including information on Hermansen and his film factory.
