4 x 7

Every episode consists of four documentaries of seven minutes each. These short documentaries have only two things in common: they are all of a personal nature. This means that one way or another these stories have to be told by their creator and as such will not be driven by an editorial context but will only derive from the author’s mind. The subject must be one that is very near and dear to the creator’s heart. The form in which these stories are told is documentary without an imposed visual imagery or a forced format. This way every short documentary is an expression of the creator, of their story and of their way of telling that story. The collaboration of each creator is a one-off. Prior to each story a short 30 seconds introduction by the creator is shown in which he/she indicates why they had to make this film. The introduction states his/her motivation and provides a short and swift frame for the story. The directors are well known and lesser known television makers, documentary makers, film makers and film school master students. This documentary series features 48 mini documentaries per series.
