The Migrating Image |

FRENCH PREMIERE

2018 | 00:29:00
The Migrating Image follows a ficitional group of refugees as they
move their way up through Europe. Each chapter of the film takes its
cue from the destination of the refugees. From their home country, the
Mediterranean Sea to being stuck in warehouses in Beograd. Who
produces images of these refugees? and why?? Which cameras surrounding
them and what are the intentions.
“Human beings forget they created images in order to orientate
themselves in the world. Since they are no longer able to decode them,
their lives become a function of their own images: Imagination has
turned into hallucination." The film opens with a quote from the
German philosopher Vilém Flusser. His media theory and especially his
book 'Towards a philosophy of photography' is at the core of the
inspiration for THE MIGRATING IMAGE. The film is in short a closer
look at the images creating the visualisation of the refugee crisis.

A man is being asked on a Sunday afternoon by the police to help with
the investigation of the disappearance of three women of which two
have been violated and murdered. During the thorough and very politely
conducted interview, we see the two men being condemned to spend hours
in the same room. The man slowly becomes a suspect and eventually
confesses to a truth, approaching Dante’s hell.

October 4 - 14, 2018
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.
