Frontières (In)visibles

This experimental short-documentary is a transdisciplinary exploration of exile, seen through the eyes of those who have experienced it. The film follows four refugee artists in the Mediterranean city of Marseille, France, each bringing and reflecting on their own stories and struggles in a mix of street art, photography and performance. Realised by a social researcher and an artist, Frontière (In)visible aims to challenge the victimisation and securitisation of migration in media representations and build a subversive ‘third imaginary’ that becomes a practice of narrative resistance. Through four thematic chapters - Resistances, Baggage, Crossings and Bodies - the documentary reveals the social injustices of human mobility, but also how artists resist and reframe such injustices through new narratives deriving from the physical and metaphorical borders they cross.
