1+1 or two always see better than one

taking Robert Bresson’s film Au Hasard Balthazar as a starting point, an invitation was made for a selection of another film to be screened together, constituting a response to this one. After this screening, the invitee would then repeat the process by sending the film he/she selected to another person of his/her choice in order to obtain a new response and have a new invitation sent, thus keeping the process ongoing.
