CINEFETE
The Making of 6 Billion Others takes us behind the scenes of a most intriguing series. The idea of for this series came from Yann Arthus-Bertrand, an award-winning filmmaker who was filming Earth from Above in Mali. One day when the helicopter that he was filming from was out of commission, he tried to draw a portrait of contemporary humankind by asking questions about universal values. What is happiness, love, fear, success, family? What lessons can we learn from life’s difficulties? What is the meaning of life? What makes us laugh or cry? Through camera close-ups, the viewer focuses on the words and facial expressions of people from around the world who share their thoughts and memories with spontaneity and sincerity. Focusing on 12 themes, these interviews cut across all walks of life and enrich us by their diversity and by the thoughts they provoke.
