Freedom / Svoboda

A film by Swoon for the poem 'Vrijheid' by Marion Bloem.
On the 30th of March 2011 Marion Bloem invited poets, translators, writers and artists from all over the world to volunteer translating her poem. One month later 30 translations were available. There are still new people, translators, poets, professional authors, filmmakers and artists from all over the world joining the Freedom Project every day.

People who use their network to inspire friends to contribute to this project. Many stories are there to be told. Some translators live far away from the city, out of reach and have no computer, no internet.

The intention is to continue finding translators, filmmakers, musicians and artists to pass on the awareness about the fragility of the concept Freedom.
