  • i feel so happy when people say 'you're the only one i can count on' when they are feeling down then i realize after they regain their happiness i got dumped aside
  • i should n o t feel this happy since i messed up so bad yesterday but i think i bit of more than i could chew i r o n y
  • i actually feel quite happy right now
  • i might always have a chemical imbalance that prevents me from being able to feel over the moon happy

Exactly fifty years ago, Marceline Loridan and Nadine Baillot asked people on the streets of Paris, Are you happy? in a documentary experiment by Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin.

The Are you happy? project is finding out what happens when we ask the same question in the global environment of the web today.

Filmmakers around the world are contributing to the project, asking people; Are you happy? in their own neighbourhoods.

We will bring those sequences shot in diverse locations together to see what we learn about happiness, and about documentary.
