MOTIVATION
Ailleurs Partout by directors Isabelle Ingold e Vivianne Perelmutter is a documentary ‘that hurts’ because it talks about the condition of a refugee in a unique way: a sensorial one. The screen of a computer, the protagonist who exists through words, few and thin, images from all over the world. We cross borders and other stories involve us through messages, texts in chats, telephone conversations, immigration office questionnaires. It is the journey of Shahin, a 20-year-old Iranian boy, who abandoned his country, flees to Greece trying to keep up an illusion of success in front of her mother and himself. Only at the end of the documentary we ‘read’ that ‘England accepted his papers’. ‘A normal life can begin’. In addition to a selection of images of non-places (airports, stations, harbours) , taken from security cameras and syncopated edited, the power of the documentary lies in stimulating the imagination of the viewer to the point of generating the reality. In the end, the perception is that of having known the protagonist very intimately and having followed his gripping and painful journey from within.
A room, somewhere in England. A computer screen, images from all over the world. One click is all it takes to cross borders, whereas the tale of another journey unfolds in bits and pieces, through text messages, chats, phone conversations, and an interview at the British immigration office.
