The event
What shapes our identity when we live between different places, languages, cultures and memories? Five films explore belonging, origins and displacement through intimate and collective stories, questioning the ties we build with the territories we come from and those we inhabit.
The films
Neuf lettres
Cristina Müller
The feeling of living in New York, far from home, shared by people who came from elsewhere and chose to live in this vast city. The experience of being here and elsewhere is conveyed through letters and images of everyday life, evoking a present steeped in the past.
Sarah Imsand
Ibrahim is a caretaker at an art school in Switzerland. One day, a student looking for Ethiopian songs for a project asks for his help. Her persistence forces Ibrahim to reconnect with his past and his origins.
Nom de Baptême – Alice
Tila Chitunda
Forty years after the start of the Angolan civil war that forced her family to flee, Alice, the youngest daughter born in Brazil, sets out to discover the land where her family was born. Her journey is guided by a search for the stories that led her parents to give her her baptismal name.
