Press seminar on the EE2019 elections campaign: extracts from the briefing on the elections campaign "Choose your future" - statement by Frederic PLANCHON, Director of the elections campaign film and other participants

Cutaway on Lene, Anders &amp; baby Willi Emil M&oslash;lgaard Rasmussen, from Denmark, participants on the film.

SOUNDBITE (English), Anders M&oslash;lgaard Rasmussen, participant in the film "Choose your future", I was at the laboring room, I was outside to have a cup of coffee and one of the production team asked me if I was interested, if we were interested to participate this movie.

SOUNDBITE (English), Lene M&#248;lgaard Rasmussen, participant in the film &quot;Choose your future&quot; , Of course now that we've seen the film it all makes sense. But at the day when we were introduced to the project, I don't think I would have said yes if I didn't believe in the EU project, if I wasn't pro the European Union and therefore I said yes.

SOUNDBITE (English), Anders M&oslash;lgaard Rasmussen, participant in the film "Choose your future", And it is important that that some more of the younger generation like us vote, because I must admit sometimes I've never paid that much attention about the EU election, but participating in this movie and realizing how much it actually influences in our future means that perhaps we can get some more higher percentage of voting in our country.

SOUNDBITE (English), Lene M&oslash;lgaard Rasmussen, participant in the film "Choose your future", We have four children, so as a big family and a mother full of children, it is important that we think about the future. And this is how we can make an influence also.

Cutaways on baby Willi Emil M&oslash;lgaard Rasmussen (3 shots) whose birth is part of the 'Choose your future' film. 

SOUNDBITE (French) Fr&eacute;d&eacute;ric Planchon, Director of the elections campaign film, In the film we only used real pregnant women, giving birth ... we did not reconstitute anything in a Hollywood way. It is shot with the means of reporting but with a more poetic, more emotional bias, which tries to talk more to people about this time of emotion, and after that it can obviously make them think. The purpose of the film is to go back to the very idea of why we vote. After everyone can vote as he wants. But why we vote, and we vote for the future. We vote for a better future. And what's more beautiful example that a baby who comes into the world to talk about that.

SOUNDBITE (French) Fr&eacute;d&eacute;ric Planchon, Director of the elections campaign film, There are many people who are doubtful. This is to bring in the little human values, the essential values, it is really a message of hope to say that we must believe in the future. What are democracy and politics? Politics is about changing people's lives and making them better.

SOUNDBITE (English), Trine Aagaard Eisinger, Account Director of the Communication Agency &amp;Co, We approached a lot of women who were going to give birth 20 days before and after the shooting days on the hospitals and we had several women saying yes to that but in the end we actually ended up finding women at the hospital when they came in in labor and asked them if they wanted to participate.

SOUNDBITE (English), Trine Aagaard Eisinger, Account Director of the Communication Agency &amp;Co, We were filming in Denmark, Czech Republic, Hungary and Greece. We were looking for countries that would represent the whole of Europe from North to South. And of course then we had to find the countries where the hospitals were willing to work with us because their commitment and their engagement in the project was very important for us.
