Far from the frenzy of urban life, DESTINATIONS is an invitation to enjoy the simple pleasure of traveling around the world and discover places that inspired the great artists, resulting in an exchange between a land, a town, a landscape and a work of art.
Cézanne's Provence, Stefan Zweig's Brazil, Karen Blixen's Kenya, Salvador Dali's Catalonia, or Katsushika Hokusai's Japan. The series will also take you to places that were fashioned by mankind and have become legendary, such as Jerusalem, Harar in Ethiopia, the hanging gardens of Singapore, and the iconic Route 66.
DESTINATIONS tells how these places have evolved through history, and which cultures shaped their character, their monuments, their music and their gastronomy. These 13-minute films combine learning with the pleasure of delightful images and unusual encounters with local figures and artistic sensibilities. This is an invitation on a slow voyage, to satisfy an urge for adventure, with some enlightening stopovers to fire the curiosity, inspiring one to pack one’s bags and immerse oneself in the experience.
