Portrait of Nowness
Directed by Juri Rechinsky
What unites us all, regardless of the circumstances or part of the world we live in? Is simply being human the lowest common denominator? In their experimental documentary, Juri Rechinsky and Mario Hainzl explore this question by equipping women and men of different ages with body cams—in Austria, Senegal, the U.S., Japan, and on the Ukrainian front. An intimate, point-of-view journey through many lives and realities, revealing how close we actually are.
