Couch Connections

Special Screening with filmmaker

After two and a half years working on this project, finally my dream comes true: COUCH CONNECTIONS will be shown on the big screen.

9 months / 9 countries / 53 couches
In a world full of barriers, building bridges between cultures is often linked with fear, caution and sometimes even rejection. That´s why this film has been made: it shows that sometimes it only takes a few steps towards other people to establish wonderful friendships. Why not start by sharing something personal? Why not start by inviting them to your living room, to talk, to laugh, to exchange. All that sitting on a couch!

Therefore, the main focus of the film is on the people which participate in Couchsurfing and their great diversity. My hosts couldn’t have been more different from one another: from a 21-year-old student in a student dorm, to a family in which three generations take part in Couchsurfing, to a nudist in Manhattan and a transgender in Bangkok.
