Book tickets
This programme of films interrogates a myriad of borders. Some are physical, geo-politically determined, others are socially inscribed. Many more are difficult to define. All are porous, even when it seems they’re not.
Border as interface, dir. Petra Szemán, UK/Japan 2024, 18 min.
An animated avatar reflects on existence in-between various boundaries, while traversing a hybrid reality where floating frames of streaming images populate the sky.
NSALA, dir. Mickael-sltan Mbanza, Congo 2025, 10 min.
Through colonial-era archival footage, images are extracted alongside minerals and labour. Re-enactments extrapolate lives lived – agency for the depicted.
The Conjured Ones, dir. Humberto González Bustillo, Venezuela/Argentina 2025, 9 min.
Dragging and dropping into Google Maps locations, an anonymous presence incessantly searches, intersecting hollowed out images of restless migrants in procession.
Terror Element, dir. Anna Engelhardt and Mark Cinkevich, UK/Netherlands 2025, 24 min.
Forensic science is scrutinised when a fictional investigator questions procedures and motivations in the politicised 1999 bombings of flats in Russia.
happiness, dir. Firat Yücel, Netherlands/Turkey 2025, 19 min.
From solidarity protests for Palestine to sleepless nights wrestling with the horrific realities – a rabbit-hole inquiry into alleviating insomnia.
Total runtime 79 min.
