TRACING MOVEMENTS is a collaborative audio-visual research, documenting political resistance against a Europe which tirelessly attempts to stop, filter, select and control the movement of people across and within its borders.
Against the backdrop of yet another capitalist crisis, the rise of the extreme right, the continuing anti-migration rhetoric and the further violent securitisation of E.U. territories, a number of self-organised migrant struggles and solidarity movements have emerged and developed.
As activists and film-makers, we’ve felt the need to make connections between different existing struggles, documenting how the systems of control and domination that divide us operate, and how they are lived and resisted.
During the summer of 2011, we travelled across Greece, Bulgaria and Italy with a mobile cinema unit and documented a number of struggles and the contexts in which they arose. This method of meeting and exchanging experiences through film and debate was the basis for the audio-visual material we gathered.
Over the last 3 years, we have been editing the material we filmed. The documentaries are now online and available on DVD for groups and organisations interested in organising a screening.
