Nice to Meet You

A road trip through the heart of Europe, just before the European elections.

Together with director Eefje Suijkerbuijk I traveled for a month to interview people all across Europe, about Europe. From Strassbourg to Warsaw, to Vilnius, all the way to Prague, Bratislava, Ljubljana, Rijeka, Venice, Cologne and smaller towns along the way. I encountered many unique faces and stories and created a collage that shows how thoughts on Europe are as diverse as it’s people: from ‘Europe is my home’, to ‘Europe is shit’ and ‘It’s a brilliant idea, but not working very well’. Many reflected on the continent’s turbulent past and contemplated uncertain futures, with a changing climate, growing polarisation and raging wars, far away and close by.
