Portraits of a City

About Portraits of a City

Portraits of a City produces short documentaries that tell the stories of people living in Buenos Aires and Lesvos. We make short films about real people, our project is formed by the people, by the place, and by it’s stories. That’s what we love about it. We love to show these personal portraits of people and therefore understand each other better, with the goal of connecting the world and creating awareness through our videos.

Our mission is to inspire others by showing extraordinary stories of normal people. We believe that we are all people with different life circumstances but often with similar challenges and dreams. By portraying their stories we create awareness and connection. Without any pretentious to make neither extraordinary nor special videos, Portraits of a city simply aims to show what it is that makes people unique and authentic, their way of living, and to transmit what happens to them. Some stories came out of a simple conversation, in others we knew what we where looking for. But what happened, in all cases, is that we could never predict the outcome. The story could appear in small details, in hidden reactions. We were looking for a story, and we always went away with a better one.
