CinemARC: Borderzone

About CinemARC: Borderzone

Following on from Borderzone I, which took place in February 2024, Borderzone II showcases a series of short films from international artists that find different ways to examine what it means to be home, to be in place and to belong.

Taking place amid growing insecurities surrounding the personal and the political, solidarity and statelessness, shelter and hostility, the screening brings together different perspectives, encompassing creative arts, film practices and conversation, to provoke timely conversations on themes of interiority, identity, being and belonging. Artists, filmmakers and audiences are invited to share their understanding of home, its affectual states and its temporal and spatial dimensions. Home may be desired as to come, as a return, as something made through lived practice or as acts of multi-dimensional memory. The event thus opens possibilities for all participants to ask question and offer reflections through voice, through making and through screen technologies.

This event is in collaboration with ‘Thinking Culture’, a cultural programme from the School of Culture & Creative Arts.

Films + performances to be screened:

A to B | Iman Tajik | 2018
A to B is a performance that uses installation and video to examine borders and barriers limiting free movement. Set in a natural landscape, the artist navigates and dismantles a complex network of white tape. This act becomes a metaphorical, cathartic gesture that emphasizes the experience of overcoming imposed boundaries. By tearing down these artificial divisions, A to B highlights the contrast between the openness of nature and the limitations created by politics and society, sparking reflection on freedom and restriction.

On A Warm Day in July | Manon de Boer (feat. Claron Mc Fadden) | 2015 | 10 mins
On A Warm Day in July features American Soprano Claron McFadden improvising on a seventeenth-century song in an empty Brussels townhouse. The camera quickly abandons the singer and goes on to wander and explore her surroundings. Void of objects, the space is filled with history, each crack on the wall or scrap of detaching wallpaper a mesmerizing cinematic presence.

Pembe Ay | Meray Diner | 2023 | 15 mins
A daughter revisits her childhood home to work the garden with her father as it blossoms in the politically and physically divided island of Cyprus. It once facilitated her nightmares of the conflict and now their conversations. The filmmaker unearths the inter-generational trauma and healing.

My Own Personal Lebanon | Theo Panagopoulos | 2020 | 16 mins
A short documentary following the attempts of a young Greek filmmaker to connect with his distant Lebanese half by discovering his mother's secret stories of the war. The film explores the emotional tension between national and personal identity through a conversation in a car.

A discussion forum based around the films will follow.


This event is free, but ticketed.

You will be permitted to one drink on arrival, while stocks last.
