Comfort from a bygone era. A short film about the Gouda multi-media project 'Why are things going well in your life'?

In 2016, photographer and visual artist Jaap van den Berg initiated a special project in Gouda. In the historical centre on the Market Square, he asked various people from all walks of life the question: Why are things going well in your life? People who answered the question were then photographed by Van den Berg.

140 portraits were chosen for an exhibition at museum Gouda. Commissioned by museum Gouda and Jaap, I made the following short film to accompany them, which was shown at the museum during the exhibition from October 2016 to February 2017.

In these uncertain Corona times, a hopeful and relatable project to recall.
