Evaporating Borders |

Iva Radivojevic

2014 | 1:13:00
An essay in five parts, Evaporating Borders offers a series of
vignettes, poetically guided by the filmmaker's curious eye and
personal reflections. Through the people she encounters along the way,
the film dissects the experience of asylum seekers in Cyprus : A PLO
activist and exile from Iraq is denied asylum within 15 minutes;
neo-nazi fundamentalists roam the streets in an attack on Muslim
migrants; activists and academics organize an antifascist rally and
clash with the neo-nazis; 195 migrants drown in the Mediterranean.
Originally from Yugoslavia and an immigrant to Cyprus, Iva Radivojevic
investigates the effects of large-scale immigration on the sense of
national identity in one of the easiest ports of entry into Fortress
Europe. Poetically photographed and rendered, the film passionately
weaves the themes of migration, tolerance, identity and belonging.

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
