    paper Body Stories: Together

    This short film was made as a decentralized production thanks to the collective vision of 19 talents from 6 countries and 2 years of collaboration. Diligently working in online mode, we used the tools that we had at hand (smartphone cameras, accessible locations, our own clothing) to reduce the financial gap for filmmaking expanding the creative possibilities of emerging artists.

    Synopsis

    Sharing one home, we are more connected than we think.

    10 persons living in different parts of the globe are struggling with the ups and downs of the external limitations due to the pandemic, their local realities and internal shadows. But in some place within, the light is still living. (PG 13)
