The ‘Pray for Paris’ video, posted on Vimeo by filmmaker Alex Soloviev, features residents paying their respects at Place de la République, which has been transformed into a memorial for the victims.
“When I was at Place de la République, I could feel and even see all that grief and sadness floating between people, candles, flowers. I realized that I had to memorize it…too many words already were said everywhere and I couldn’t add any more. The only way for me to express my feelings [was to] catch the images through my lens,” Soloviev told RT.
The filmmaker went on to say that he originally made a version with narration, but eventually chose to leave the video silent so that it “leaves viewers with space for their own thoughts.”
Soloviev said he believes the tribute offers people a chance to view the tragedy from a different angle than what is shown on the news, adding that “only [the unity] of nations can save this world from being destroyed.”
