60 Berlin-based participants, including children, teenagers, adults, professional and non-professional artists from various disciplines, engage with central questions of our present through music, movement and poetry in this experimental short film. The project was developed and produced by a 10-member creative team and was shot during the Jazzfest Community Week in late October 2025 in Berlin. The film premiered in Washington, D.C., in April 2026, where it received the IN Series Counterpoint Award, and has since been screened more than twenty times at music and film festivals in Germany and abroad.
