Plastic Buddha, wooden Jesus and a mirror

"Plastic Buddha, wooden Jesus and a mirror"
(working title)

Author Branko Lazić

What do people put on their rearview mirrors?

Synopsis:

A story about what we put in front of us when we go into the unknown, things that remind us of who we are and what we are, no matter where we go.
We invited hundreds of videographers, directors, travelers, bloggers and all kinds of other video enthusiasts from all over the world to send us videos of what people put on the rearview mirrors of cars, trucks, buses...
We gave relatively precise instructions on how and what kind of shot should be taken.

We were answered by travelers, vloggers, backpackers, wanderers, emigrants... willing and unwilling with a camera on the road, of all kinds, from Nepal to Alaska... from all continents.
A story about identities, loves, fears, beliefs, passions and the times we live in.

What kind of movie is this? Documentary surrealism, comedy, fantasy, road movie, love story?
A film created by collective observation?
An epic film journey around the world, through passions, desires, religions, fears, music, landscapes, beliefs, sounds, symbols...
This film is a unique collective diary that explores the possibilities of film language to describe the world today.

We are still collecting recordings and therefore we are asking for your help and participation in this project.
Read the instructions, take your shot and send it to us.
We will be very grateful for your participation in the creation of this unique film project.
