Tente 113, Idomèni
Henri Marbacher, 18 minutes, animation/documentary, in French with English subtitles, 2022
Agìr, a smiling and discreet 19-year-old, tells the story of his migration. His journey from Syria to Switzerland spans several years, rushes from boats to buses, lingers from shacks to mosques, crosses camps and borders. From this chaotic construction, a fragmented, unequal narrative emerges. Constructed of short capsules, it is this journey that the animated film puts into action through Agìr's voice-over.
The film participated in many international festivals and was nominated for the International Jury Award for Best Film of the National Film Schools Competition at the Minsk International Film Festival “Listapad”, 2020.
