THE COMMITTEE
2016
Short film
The challenge of finding common ground.
The Committee deals with the absurdity of democratic decision-making processes. It makes a humorous portrait of an international collaboration. A comedy investigates the nature of compromises, and mirrors political processes that often have great ambitions, but end up little to show.
A short film. Duration 14 minutes. Premiere 8/2016.
