In Praise of Nothing
Start date: Nov 26, 2015, End date: May 25, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

- A feelgood documentary about Nothing, wherein Nothing, not knowing what we know but knowing what we don’t know, addresses us for the first and the last time.- Nothing’s narration, distilled from an eclectically erudite 20.000p bibliography, is written in simple everyday English- the documentary footage of Nothing that underlines this narration is filmed across 100+ countries by 100+ cinematographers, superstars and beginners alike, hailing from different geographical, cultural, social or esthetical backgrounds- DoPs are initially given carte blanche, then receiving increasingly precise instructions & inspirations on how to film Nothing in documentary ways- the most intriguing footage is uploaded on a restricted, custom-made online brainstorming platform, where the DoPs can watch and discuss each other's footage, albeit anonymously and without knowing who shot what, so as to avoid inhibitions and status issues- the author, of course, masterminds everything behind the scene and fine-tunes the script, the editing and the shooting instructions according to received footage and comments- the project is supported by record domestic funding, the IDFA Bertha Fund, 9 broadcasters and prestigious art museums- the production strategy aims at using geographically unrestricted funds rather than multilateral co-productions, so as to preserve the possibility of ad hoc creative developments and equal remuneration for all participants
