‘connect’ features street-style interviews of over 160 people of different ages, gender, socio-economic backgrounds, cultures and religion from Germany (Berlin, Schöppingen), Spain (Blanca) and the USA (New York City). 
I would like to exhibit films from ‘connect’ and extend the project by working with 40 people from the local community where the work will be shown.
‘connect’ presents stories and interactions that build intrigue about who we are and how we relate to one another. The project celebrates what connects people. We may all be different but we all have the same core desires of love, peace, security and hope. We have much more in common than our differences suggest.
The protagonists share their private stories and thoughts in an honestly refreshing way, as they answer 5 universal questions that we all ask ourselves at one time or another. They also offer a gesture of unconditional love.
Each of these questions and the is the subject of its own film, with similar answers and counterpoints sewn together to build a narrative. The participants’ answers transﬁx us because they are so relatable.
Watching and listening to other people allows us to see ourselves in others and offers us a way to start connecting.
The project includes six 20 minute films with Spanish subtitles:
1. What makes you happy? 	  4. What advice would you give your younger self?  
2. What are you scared of? 	  5. What are your hopes for the future? 
3. What do you love the most?    6. Gestures
