In Odessa, workshops and punctual events will be held. Many artists are joining in so you can expect an explosion of performances and talents. People that hitchhike a lot often learn useful and unusual skills. And they are willing to teach them. As much as possible the participants will reach out into the streets of the city through performances and activities.
Last year (08/08/08), for the first official hitchhiking week, the festival was hosted in Paris, right in front of the Eiffel tower (Champs de Mars). It gathered 150 hitchhikers from all around Europe and the world. A group of hitchhiking filmmakers Fabrice Renucci and Martin Boserup co-produced and co-directed "Paris 888", a feature documentary about four hitchhikers traveling to the 888 project from Saint James of Compostela, ArmeniaTurkey, Copenhagen and Barcelona. The film has been presented at the Cannes film festival in 2009.
