EUROPA

<p> <strong>NEW GOAL 10K</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> Success ! After only 9 days of campaigning, we have reached our initial financing goal of 6000 Euros. Today we wish therefore to translate the film into multiple languages in order to widen its zone of impact and reach people beyond the limitation of borders. We will put together a sneak preview to which all of our donators are going to be invited. That is why we are counting on each and every one of you to reach 10.000 Euros. The adventure has only just begun. </p> <p>  </p> <p>  <strong>EUROPA, the manifesto of a generation.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Europe is a geographic entity. A political construct. It is an opportunity. An issue. A utopia and a reality. Europe is a paradox. It channels the fears and hopes of millions of souls in a multilateral world where it becomes more and more difficult to grasp actual difference and define identity. By attempting to melt together the pasts and traditions of regions and nations, Europe has forgotten to exist for and by itself. To write its own tale and collectively be acknowledged through it.</p> <p>  </p> <p> We are generation Y. The self-taught, knowledge sharing, universalistic one. We are the generation that did not suffer collective major trauma, lacking for nothing if not for common sense. We have inherited Europe, paid for with blood and tears. The voices of Robert Schuman, Jean Monnet, Winston Chruchill, Paul-Henri Spaak, Konrad Adenauer and François Mitterand have gone quiet for a long time now. The visionaries have passed, leaving a mirage behind. Today, it is our turn to speak up, imagine, convince. We are ambassadors of a way of life, of shared values and culture.</p> <p>  </p> <p> In order for Europe to exist rather than merely breathe, it is less about understanding than it is about living it. We are launching project EUROPA so from a rational choice a passion may be born.  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>In detail </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> EUROPA is an experimental film of 52 minutes, a voyage of initiation articulated around 10 chapters shot in 8 European countries. Attempting to strike a balance between visual poetry and road-trip documentary, we take off to meet the faces and places of Europe and grasp their beauty and complexity. Snapshots of pervasive truth supported by an original soundtrack, voices and travels – all of it to seduce minds and win over hearts.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>The shooting</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> EUROPA will be shot over 36 days starting at the end of June 2016. The quest is going to start in France. Filmed in 4k, the 52 minutes long opus with be translated into multiple languages so it can simultaneously be shown across different countries in early 2017.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Photos-1459184491" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/296483/Photos-1459184491.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Yannis Mouhoun</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong> </strong>Yannis, 23 years, hidden love-child of Churchill &amp; Lana Del Rey. We love him for his zeal, his mind, his sense for the aesthetic – despite the fact that he is beyond controlling. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Jules Calcet</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Jules, 22 years. Belgian once, but not twice. Having left the flatland with a bachelor's in political science, we love him for his humanity, his appreciation for theory and his multiple relations to the female sex. </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Promofigcf-1459257589" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/296794/promoFIGcf-1459257589.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Our previous work </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> A short film dedicated to combativeness called <a href="https://vimeo.com/153240791" target="_blank">The Fighters.</a></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Partners</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> The shoot will be done with the material and human aid of <a href="http://www.1-9-9-2.com/" target="_blank">agency 1 9 9 2</a></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/wearemcorg/?fref=ts" target="_blank">media network MC</a> supports the initiative. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Partenaires-1459183265" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/296471/partenaires-1459183265.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Spec. techniques</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> With the roadmap already decided on, we are going to reveal a new location every three days starting with the launch of the financing campaign.

Such a multilingual approach stems from the desire to increase the film's resonance by integrating multiple European histories and cultures.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> - We are going to set up a showing during a private EUROPA event.</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> Once more, thank you for your contribution to this project.
