Brief Explanation
The starting point was a prominent experiment by Arthur Aron, who proved that four minutes of eye contact brings people closer to each other better than anything else. Using this discovery, we decided to carry out a simple experiment, during which refugees and Europeans sat opposite each other and looked into each other's eyes. Clearly, it is most important to give each other time to better understand and get to know each other. The experiment was conducted in Berlin: the city, which is a symbol of overcoming the divisions. We wanted the movie created on the basis of the experiment to be as symbolic as possible – and to touch upon the general divisions between people. The situations were not prearranged; natural, spontaneous reactions became the key. The people sitting across from each other had never met before; they set eyes on each other for the very first time during
Execution
It was real extraordinary coincidence that director of this movie was also a refugee. Born in Athens and raised in Germany. He finally found his place in Poland, where he lives right now. He started his career in 2009 and quickly became one of the most respected professionals in Poland. His documentary about interpersonal relationships “Six Degrees” won many awards at major film festivals. Bartosz constantly escapes being pigeon-holed, as he has mastered a wide range of genres – from gritty documentary realism and storytelling to visual and cinematic work to live stream. When it comes to his commercial work he is able to adapt a complex story to short formats while concentrating on authentic and intimate character performances. That why he was so passionate and gentle. He could see, touch and also feel the most sensitive and awkward feelings of our heroes.
