Photogénie combineert een gevoel van verwondering met scherpe analyses. Het verbindende principe is de intense beleving van cinema. De artikels op deze website – over oude en nieuwe films, cinema uit het heden en verleden – proberen deze beleving niet in vooropgezette kaders te laten passen, maar willen de lezer / kijker ontvankelijk maken voor wat films ons kunnen laten zien, in een poging de allure van cinema onder woorden te brengen.
