Look Back: My Pandemic Year

Experimental online screening dedicated to storytelling in a video format

On the 12th of March 2021, we commemorated one year of lockdown with My Pandemic Year, an online screening dedicated to storytelling in a video format. Earlier in the year, we released an open call for videos made during the Covid crisis. In no time, 55 international filmmakers had submitted their works. We were nicely surprised that all the filmmakers were present and that during the screening the chat room was buzzing with comments and reactions. In total, more than 100 people visited the screening. Because you missed the fun we have selected 10 of our favourite videos to share with you here.
