"Draw me Europe"



30x3 minutes (9 languages / french version). 1988 (before the Berlin Wall tumbled down). Florent's first
tv series. He raised $750.000 with the help of Eurocreation, produced and directed "Draw me Europe",
a peak prime series (20h30), combining for the first time computer graphics and filmed interviews.

The TV series was shot with a 12 people crew during two months. More than fourty magazines and newspapers
accross Europe promoted the clips. Berlin (at that time in East Germany) was included in the trip.

The series showcases computer graphics (pictures drawn by hundreds of europeans) and filmed interviews accross
13 countries. The question "Draw me Europe" and few others were asked to mainstream europeans...
fresh air, as only autorized specialists were invited to express themselves on tv at that time.

All the pictures in the show were created by 1500 people in the streets of 32 cities, using 1987 Atari
computers installed in a specialy designed bus which traveled 15.000 kilometers in 13 european countries.

"We had to design special interfaces to broadcast these images as computer and television were not
intended to work together at that time". This is one of the thirty episodes (french voiceover),
nine other languages having their own translations...
