HUMAN POSTCARDS

HUMAN POSTCARDS
A video project of one minute portraits of humans by filmmaker Nora Jaccaud and sound engineer Arie Van Der Poel.

Iñaki was asked to identify the most beautiful thing that has happened to him in his life.



Boris had a change of career.



Emma works in a shop.



Kim cares for Kiwis.



Blair is creative.



"Every person we meet, observe on the street, in a shop, behind a counter, and even the ones we don’t see, like the cherry picker behind the fruit or the dairy farmer behind our milk, have thoughts worth hearing, worlds worth seeing. We believe we have a lot to learn from them. Maybe you too ?"
